Pinecrest Preparatory Middle-High School has already denied access to Facebook from their servers at the school, but now they want students to close their accounts permanently. Parents who agree with this measure say that what students post on Facebook leads to them to being bullied and that the kids dont realize what they're sharing with everyone. Administrators want students to log off because they feel that what happens on Facebook after school hours is ultimately making it back to the school.
I think the adults in this situation have their panties in a bunch. Making them shut down their Facebook account isn't the answer. Children have gotten bullied before the social network existed. Teaching children what not to post is the better alternative here. All they're going to do is force children to create account under false names on order to continue with their Facebook activities. Banning something like Facebook only leads to more of the activities that you're trying to prevent.
