The principal of a Pembroke Pines school has sent a controversial communication to parents in which he says he will take action not only with students who start fights, but with those around them and will videotape these events.
“All of the recent altercations have been isolated incidents. School discipline codes will be followed, and students who videotape or incite a disturbance are also subject to disciplinary action,” West Broward High School principal Brad Fatout told parents.
The opinions are diverse, on the one hand, they say that it is good that these fights are recorded, to record who the aggressors are, but, on the other hand, they do not want their children to be exposed on the networks social.
The Broward School District Discipline Code does not prohibit the recording of such fights, but it does prohibit the use of such footage to intimidate, encourage violence, or endanger student safety.
Two mothers have made their views known about this advertisement. “For their own safety, they should record it, to know they are not involved,” says one of the mothers, but clarifies that she would not like her daughter to appear in any of these videos. and go viral on social media.
Another of the interviewees considers that “it’s normal, now because there are phones that record and then post on social networks”.
Apparently this is what the director of this school wants to avoid, that some students incite these fights to be recorded and to become viral on the networks, in addition to the harassment suffered by the children and adolescents who appear in these images, especially when they are the victims.
So far, Tele mundo 51 has not had a statement from the school principal and we are awaiting comments from the Broward School Board.
