  • A comment on Conversation: Should social media be taught in school?

    Mar 1 2013: To answer your question DIRECTLY, No.

    To teach social media in schools would require to change the curriculum. Making things more advance to understand and cope with social media. It also depends on the grade level you are inquiring about. I would not support social media being taught in elementary school or middle school (basically k-8). Again, just to be clear, I wouldn’t support it at all. However, since I am not the powers that be, if it would to hit High School curriculum, high school student may be more prepped for college courses.

    Social media teaches individuals different personalities as if everyone involved in social media had DID (not that I am implying they do..Lol). So a course / class should be designed to teach students interested in psychology. Also anyone interested in research or sociology.

    Just my two sents…

    A comment on Conversation: What is the most important thing you've learned on your own?

    Mar 1 2013: I learned how to survive. I don't believe anyone can teach you how to survive until you are placed in a position to tap into it. I learned this by going to jail.
