Um, creepy!!!

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Yesterday in the mail we got the school newsletter. It said it's been a great year so far, the musical was great, good job football team, etc. Then the principal had this thing about monitering your kid's myspace, facebook, etc. He says that he's been checking some student's lately, and how appalled he is and crap like that. Um, that's just a little creepy, if you ask me... Some of my friends were freaking out because they don't have theirs set to private.

So, the moral of this story? Just one more reason to keep your MySpace private!

Yea last year in the middle school our vice principle was lake the myspace moniter. He called you down to the office if he found your myspace and had something inapporpriate. Kindof stupid. Its like an invasion of privacy. But I know they mean well.

What? How does she check them if they're private?

I don't have one, but IMO, it isn't the principal's business to monitor people's myspaces. Doesn't he have administrative duties to carry out??

Expelled? That is a little extreme if you ask me...especially since Myspace isn't a school affair.

If you ask me, principals or vice principals can view your pages if they want, but they can't do anything about what they see. If you have a page on public, you can't call it an "invasion of privacy" because technically that isn't private.

I don't think principals or vice pricipals should be allowed to even give a person detention for a myspace or facebook page...myspace does not belong to the schools. They have no control over what you put in there.

Our vice principal looks at kid's profiles...I don't understand why though. I mean, they can all throw excuses out there, but if you ask me, I think they are all curious about myspace and want to see what their students are like out of school...not to "monitor kid's behavior" blah blah blah and what not.

No, they can't view a private profile. I don't know who told you they could lol, but they most certainly cannot.

Exactly.

But, I think the reason our principal is doing it is because theres been a bunch of problems with drugs and alchohol at our school lately, and a lot of people say if they've done them in those surveys. So i think he's trying to see who's doing them, and if they're doing it at school.

Last year my Texas History teacher was looking up people's Xangas. It was after I deleted mine, but it was still pretty weird. He found one of my friend's and said, "M, I saw your xanga. I'm glad I didn't make your list but Mr. S did."

We were so creeped out. People think it's safe to have those things, even if yours is set on private, but people still have the option to message you and can still talk to you even if you have it on private. Look at what happened to the poor girl in Wisconsin...

I don't know anyone who would put on their myspace that they use illicit substances. That seems a little dumb. So easy to get caught.

-shrug- I guess they think they're cool.

I showcase my artwork on myspace. I don't have a thing to hide. They can look at it and read about me all they want.

I think its pathetic that the best thing my administration has to do with their time is monitor what I'm doing with mine.

I'm not thier responsibilty when I leave the building. What I do is not their problem as long as its legal and not hurting anyone. I'm private, so they'd have to add me to view mine.

Myspace is blocked on the school computers. I'm not on myspace at school. hence forth, they have no right to follow up on my myspace activities.


But if they insist, I welcome them, and I dare them to find something wrong with it.

DOn't ask me how she does b/c EVERYONE in the middle school has thiers set to private and she has already called ppl into her office and they guy that got expelled his was set to private


We thnk the school got the adminstartor of the school to give the principlas the password cuz every1 is his friend on myspace thats how we think it happed but we r not sure

No, but if you want to get really really creepy, you can make a fake profile and add them, and then view it.

Are you saying it like the principal can create a fake profile and view ours? lol. Sorry, I don't have my "read-and-understand" eyes on today lol.

I don't add anyone I don't know on my myspace and I keep it private. Not like I don't want people to read what I have on there, I just don't need any psychos adding me. lol. I have enough friends in real life where I don't need to search for online ones haha.

 

[EeyoreFan1]

Umm.. Yeah.. it was only obvious they do that.

 

[U Just Got PUNKD]

Aaaaaaaand that's why I don't have a space. Ha.

Yeah, thats what I was saying.

Creepy.
Keep your profile set to private.
Only accept people you know.
Only add people you know, or something like a band with an official MUSIC page. Anyone can pose on there.

 

[PlainJane]

I've known people who have gone to private schools who have gotten kicked out for having a myspace. Something about their guidelines don't condone them

If you think your principal looking at your page is weird get this my old one asked to be my friend
