Social Media Discipline: Is It REALLY Getting the Message Across to Our Kids?

THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL MEDIA DISCIPLINE--WHERE PARENTS POST THEIR CHILDREN'S INFRACTIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS A FORM OF DISCIPLINE AND DEFENDING THEIR PARENTING--has become a widespread activity sparking some heated debates. Many parents scorn those who use the method,arguing that children will come out that experience humiliated and traumatized, not enlightened. But does that apply to teachers? A teacher of an afterschool enrichment program posted a picture of her 11-year-old student cheating from answers on her hand on social media and the child's mother brought a lawsuit against her on a television court program. The teacher used the defense that she did it to create a "teaching moment" against cheating for other students. Is that acceptable? Is cyber-discipline effective or traumatizing?
