Or No, this is not required.

I'm curious for responses on this one.  Read this article on sexting.

part a) How would you handle an incident of sexting in your classroom?

part b) Suppose you are an Administrator.  An epidemic of sexting appears at your school.  How would you handle the situation?

a) Tricky. Depends on how long I have been at the school, how well I know the kids, what was actually being transmitted, etc. Could range from telling the kids not to do it again to informing the principal.

b) Notify the parents.

What about you?

I think I agree with Mississippi Teacher Corps's comment, but I'm also not sure how such a thing would come to my attention. I don't know what would have to happen for me to inspect the contents of a student cell phone. Reports from students that nude photographs are on them would not encourage me, and I think most reports of harassment might be dealt with short of such inspection, too.

I did once have a student rather randomly say to me, "I bet you have naked white girls on your phone -- show 'em to me and I'll show you some naked black girls on mine." I made him write lines for the outburst and didn't examine his phone to determine whether he was bluffing.
