Social media is admissable in court. It’s the same as standing on a street corner and voicing your opinions. Free speech is a slippery slope and not exempt from consequences. The fact he called her out by name is the same as saying it to her face. Hopefully he learns his lesson that if you have an issue go to the source or ask for help but don’t blindly rant on any social platform.
He didn’t make a threat. I would get a lawyer as this will be on his permanent record. I think he needs a good lecture on what is okay to post and maybe right a letter of apology to the teacher. But an ISS seems a bit much.

Actions = Consequences
In this day and time there are so many threats and actions against school I would not be against ISS he will be counted in school and can follow through with work at school or you could sit down with teacher and principal come up with a discipline plan that they would agree with. My son is a Sheriffs deputy sadly in today’s world everything is taken seriously . It has to be I would rather my son learn a lesson now than later in life .

I don’t see it as disrespectful or threatening. It’s his opinion in which he is entitled to have. I’m sure If you checked every teacher at his school social media accounts you’ll find at least one that says something similar about the students lol
My sister in law is a teacher kids are assholes. But my kids are in school and teachers can be ass holes. I’ve been to the school board twice this year already for a teacher bullying my son. There is no mutual respect going on between teachers and students anymore. That’s just facts. I’m not the type of parent that thinks their kids are perfect. I’m also not the type that punishes my kids for expressing their own opinions. I wouldn’t sit back and let anyone punish my kid for stating his opinion on his personal accounts or accuse him of making threatening statements when he simply says fuck the school and teacher. we’ve all felt that way. Punish him at home if you choose to but it isn’t the schools business to do anything as far as this goes
Your son & you have learned a hard lesson. Anything negative that involves a school district is serious. There are too many instances of personal injury to look the other way.
It may not seem fair, but being held accountable is the right thing for your son.

They can’t. My high school tried thaf shit with me too, my mom straight up told them I wasn’t sitting in ISS, detention or anything and that they could go fuck themselves.
For those of you saying it was private:
The offending posts were made in a private chat. How lucky for this young man that he’s just facing ISS.
Life lesson, make him be accountable for his actions.

I got a call from the principal because there were girls sending nude pics to one of my sons friends and he was sending them around. And because my son was in the friend group they wanted to discipline him as well. I try to keep an eye on his snap but it’s hard and things automatically disappear but girls shouldn’t be sending nudes

It’s ISS, I’ve been in ISS and it won’t hurt anything but his feelings. He made a poor choice to talk disrespectfully on a public forum rather than to address his problems with the school and the specific teacher. Maybe he will choose to have more forethought in the future, but not likely as you are justifying his mistake online.

Freedom of speech… Sometimes some things are better left unsaid… An b n disrespectful isnt freedom of speech…its just
down right rude or mean !!!
Are you serious? ‘Dear School, F you and especially Mrs …….’ This is for everyone to see Mom. Shows anger for the school and the teacher. I would be upset if I were a teacher. Principle, you, teacher and your son need a meeting. Take away the device that he used. If he is angry have him talk to you about it. You can understand better why if he does. You can then talk with the school about it. You can take it from there. Or give alternative advice on what he might do in the future. Maybe change teachers? I have had to twice.

Everyone is saying the correct things, but you’re forgetting how we are with our babies. Many here are lecturing this woman when clearly she doesn’t condone it. Our children are never 100% perfect angels. If you say yours is, you’re lying. Have some compassion for her.
Either or, if they said there were threats there, that’s not threatening. Its messed up to say, but definitely not threatening. I am questioning how she got wind of it.

I’d completely side with my son here on how he feels, we’re all human, he’s a child so they can’t really regulate their emotions as well as us… BUT definitely a decent chat about putting things from his head down on paper (or the Internet!) very silly thing to do. Don’t think the school need to do anything apart from be ensured that it’s deleted and not repeated.

Three boys that my daughter went to school with made a video and sent it to her, not during school hours either, but told my daughter to ‘Go Kill Herself’ in the video. They did refer to the school Guidance Counselor though in the video jokingly telling my daughter to, ‘ Don’t go tell Mrs. Freeman now.’ They knew she would I guess because she was being harassed by them at school as well. Longer story there. Anyway, we could have pressed charges. We did inform the school and talked to the Principal and the school police officer. It was clearly a chargeable offense. They were in 8th grade, however. Regardless of age, they would then have a criminal charge on their record. The school’s punishment ended up being a few days of OSS and they couldn’t continue playing their sport activity the remaining of the school year and were removed from the Beta Club. Sweet, private school boys too which included the Bible teachers own son. We decided ultimately to not press charges because they were very young and my daughter begged us not to.
Long story short, ISS is not that bad. Your son wasn’t Expelled and wasn’t given OSS. Kids need to learn that you can’t post whatever you think or feel at any given moment on social media. It will come back to haunt you.

But, where was the threat???
He said F you… not I’m gonna kill you or or shoot up the school. Cause those are serious threats. Not telling a teacher off.
And I’m sorry but, some adults don’t even deserve respect when they alone disrespect children and put them down. Respect goes both ways. I wouldn’t expect my kid to respect someone who doesn’t treat him or her with respect, as I myself would have zero respect for them.

Maybe you should teach your kid that posting to social media is a horrible idea… what he said was inappropriate and uncalled for… with what’s been going on the past few decades obviously this would be taken seriously… sure back in the day we hated our school but we didnt post it to social media

The school might have a social media policy that you may have agreed to or your child at the beginning of the year, yes I found this out the hard way
Omg are teachers really gonna be that sensitive about it? Like they arent in the teachers lounge sayin “fuck those little bastards” every time a kid acts up? 
that is his PERSONAL snapchat and it was not said at school or directly to her, and its not even a threat its an expression that I’m sure plenty of has used before. C’mon now. I wouldn’t punish him too hard, what kid doesnt hate school? Or a specific teacher? Its normal. Chap his ass for dropping the f bomb and laugh about it later.
How old is the kid? Maybe just teach him to respect people and thus would have never happened.

Most teens do hate school and their teachers. I’d be telling the school to harden up and instead of punishing a child for their feelings, try to connect with the kids and make learning something they want to do!

He was blowing off steam. You know your kid. Yes, he should have some kind of punishment but no not from the school. It wasn’t done at school or posted to a school site. I understand their concern but this is something I think a parent should handle and talk to their child about, maybe have a meeting with the teacher so he can apologize but not suspended or anything.

We had a situation similar. My sister had a picture taken of her while she was using a vape, and it was posted on snapchat. Someone showed the principal of our school, and a few other snapchats of other kids drinking, and she was almost suspended for it. My mom was FURIOUS. It had nothing to do with the school, but she still had detentions for it. We still arent sure who showed them or why but it was stupid.

Seriously you don’t think this is a big deal? I’d smash the shit out of my kid’s phone if she did that. I don’t know, maybe you’re a good mom. It’s hard to tell because of your response. He could be an idiot which is more likely. Have you ever told him whatever he posts on the net is out there forever? Especially since his “friends” show no loyalty to him and reported his post to the school. Sigh…what a dumb ass.
I’d have a chat with him about using social media like that because stuff can get back to people but then I’d let it be known I’m taking him to get ice cream and Mrs _____ can indeed go fuck herself.
They can’t handle online bullying but they can give a teenager I.S.S. for saying Fuck Mrs.Smith??

Yeahhhhh, fuck her and her punishment. I’d punish him myself and that’s it. That’s out of their jurisdiction. It’s not her place or within her scope of authority to punish him for this.
I agree with what you’re saying and all and I definitely do defend my daughter to the fullest when necessary and to whoever but with that being said, you’re not talking about real suspension or expulsion here hun… It’s ISS. Your son was disrespectful for sure and you already said he’s in trouble with y’all as well so I feel like trying to fight the school’s punishment is just showing your son he doesn’t have consequences for his actions. Defending our kids is something we do when needed, not just for every tiny situation or anything we don’t like🤷♀️ What he did was disrespectful and with everything going on these days these schools have to be super careful so I see their side too.

You are condoning bad behavior. If he would have posted that toward you, his parent, would that be acceptable as well? If that would be my kid, he’d get jacked and serve the ISS no matter what. That’s what a major part of the problem is now in society- parents allowing their kids to be disrespectful. Teachers and schools then have to put up with it. The vulgarity alone speaks volumes. Then society is turning out kids who turn into adults who continue to justify outright bad behavior which leads to worse.

Whoa you’re both quick to punish him. I’d be sitting my child down & asking him why he said it. This really sounds like she’s treating him poorly & he’s taking it onto the only outlet he has where others would care, listen to him. As an educator she should’ve taken him away from the students & talked to him. As a parent I would do the same. Children are allowed to have feelings. Expressing them isn’t wrong. He should’ve done it another way but has he been taught or feels comfortable? Kids can feel alone in their feelings. Parents see anything negative as disrespectful, the person offending them is in control. I’d be standing up for my child & telling that teacher my child has the right to feel that way & if she was a decent teacher she’d be figuring out why. Not looking for reasons to punish him.

Your kid was disrespectful and rude. If that type of behavior is ok in your home then this will only be the tip of the iceberg. He should be made to apologize. To many kids get away with being disrespectful and rude and it’s your job to let him know there are consequences to his actions. Then follow through. Or you can ignore it and when he gets out of control and starts telling you to f often maybe you will wish you corrected when it first started.

As a parent I wouldn’t condone behavior like this on social media. That’s a good reason why. Although the child is expressing his thoughts or feelings. Someone else will take it the wrong way and go one step further. When the child becomes an adult, makes a choice to Express thoughts or feelings like this on social media. Employers will be there to check those posts out. So, it’s best to teach the child now, to Express themselves in effective ways.

Back when I was in school I had a teacher pick on me all the time and I told her to go fuck herself one day and wanna know what happened? They gave me detention and I didn’t go cause my parents told me not to. They had told the school about her picking on me and they ignored it so it was only a matter of time before I snapped and cussed her out. The board of education got involved and said that I would be switching classes and I didnt get punished. Sometimes you need to say what’s on your mind sometimes
Imagine the tear this mother would be on and the repercussions that the teacher would face if she had posted “F so and so” on her private page on her own time …

Let my kid say ‘fuck’ someone… a teacher none the less… he’s gonna be the one fucked. He’s gonna be loving his room. I encourage being open and honest… but there’s a difference between open and honest and being a nasty lil shit head of a kid. So nnnoooooo his ass would be grounded along with in school suspension… ooohhh and that teacher you don’t like and humiliated… she’s your new best friend.
To everyone saying he should be in trouble that like saying you have to censor every text message you send. Where is the freedom they are children struggling through restrictions on there individually, there presence in society at home at school in every way they are restricted. If the choose to say it privately instead of publicly you should be proud and grateful. I think you should explain that social.media has risks and anything you put on the internet can be used against including text messages and to make sire he knows if he ever did say it there would be consequebces but you are right this is free speech as long as he didnt threaten harm or injury to anyone he is aloud to think negatively. Parents who want to control everything breed damaged kids.

As a parent with a teen daughter that had to change schools BECAUSE of the faculty, if he felt the need to say something like that then there is probably something going on. I would fight it simply because teachers do tend to play victim when they provoke things sometimes. Just my 2 cents worth on the matter.

Ok honestly the school and the teacher is blowing it out of portion. He said FU to someone he didn’t like, something quite honestly I’m sure the teacher has done herself at some point in her life. The point I would make to him is to equate it to saying that to someone and them finding out. They have the right to be upset but that’s it. Punishment for not loving his school and teacher is asinine. I would be more upset that they are trying to say it’s a threat when it’s not. When again I’m sure when said teacher was in school there was a teacher she wanted to tell FU to and most likely said it to a friend, did she get in trouble no. Again doesn’t matter she wasn’t supposed to see it that’s like telling someone not to be upset when they are told someone said something about them and they find out. Being upset they found out isn’t right either. But trying to get the person in serious trouble for something it’s not isn’t cool either and for the adult in the situation shows how petty she is.

But you need to get to the bottom of why he posted it.
