1. Do you think that Khadijah’s comments about her teacher, that he “lives at home with his mom, eats fish sticks for dinner, and all he talks about is Star Wars” were appropriate?  Explain.

- What Khadijah said about her teacher was not offensive but also inappropriate. The teachers may have taken the comment offensive because it was rude for her to say those stuff about her teacher. I have a friend that did the exact same thing about his teachers and the punishment was the same. The teachers found out about the awful comments made by the students and sent him to the principals office right away. 

2. What is your opinion on the suspension of these students?  Was it reasonable for the school board to enforce such a punishment?  Why or why not?

- In my opinion the suspensions to the students were necessary because what the students did counts as cyber-bullying. It is was reasonable for the school board to enforce such punishments because the comments made by the students towards the teacher was very inappropriate. 

3. How do you feel about the reaction of the students – that they should be able to share their opinions freely?  Is it okay to post this sort of thing on social media websites like Twitter?

- The reactions of the students were unexpected because they didn't know that they were going to be suspended for what they said about their teachers. Twitter is a website that allows you to share your opinions freely, so the reactions of the teachers were a bit too much. It is okay to post comments about other people on social media websites but people shouldn't do it because it is rude and considered inappropriate.
