Just take a look at this guy: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070403.winternetbully0403/BNStory/National/home

Quote:
WINNIPEG � The Manitoba Teachers' Society is investigating hundreds of students who created a website that ridicules a veteran substitute teacher.


Quote:

Students created a website last Saturday on the Internet social forum Facebook.com.

By late Tuesday afternoon, the site had 670 members, and 120 messages posted, as well as a photograph of the teacher.

So do I. I don't know anything about Facebook.com. How would one find him there?

Do you ever wonder what all's been posted about you on cyworld?

Unless they've taken the group down, you should be able to do a search for his name (or if you don't have his name, the town) and you'd find it eventually.

I am liked and loved. The kids aren't afraid of me though- I could never take kids seriously enough to get really mad at them.

Laughing where others might shout is a splendid device in the classroom. IMO it encourages kids to be funny, and joking about a subject is a sign of higher level comprehension.

I couldn't find the spot on Facebook, I assume it's been yanked.
