This article is talking about how the school district in Los Angeles are starting to track their high school and middle school student’s social media post. The reason one may ask why they are tracking them is that they want to look for bullying, drug use, and other things that could be harmful to the students. Also, this article is about how the teacher are engaging in social media to teach students lessons.
In my opinion this could be beneficial to the student because when they get older and get a usually jobs do background checks and look at your social media posts. My position on this article goes both ways because I like my privacy but I’d also like that extra safety feeling . Also, this article relates to my school because I do believe they track our social media post, however, for our safety.

The central idea of this article is that watching students social media post are used for the children's safety. For example,” [they] were able to save a life” (Martinez) by monitoring students social media, they were aware of a child who could possibly be on the edge of committing suicide. They also say that they don’t read the private post, "I find it interesting that people keep asking if we're doing something illegal or snooping or eavesdropping, but what we're actually doing is looking at public posts,” (Martinez) This meaning if your page is private they cannot see your stuff. The main central idea of this passage is to enforce the Student Code of Conduct to the fullest. In conclusion, if you don’t want them to read your stuff simply put it on private.
