A US teacher, who was growing increasingly concerned over the images her 12-year old students were sharing, took to Facebook to make a clear (but brilliant) point.
Melissa Bour told Cosmopolitan how she was growing increasingly concerned by the content of photos her students were sharing – from offensive hand signals to girls in their underwear, so decided to make a clear statement to show how exposed they really were.
The teacher from Oklahoma took out her markers and made a simple poster:
Asking her Facebook friends and community to get involved, the image soon started building up speed, going viral in a matter of days:
“My sheet of paper with the green writing on it made it around the world. So what do you think is going to happen with the students who have inappropriate things up, and how far is that going to reach?”
Miss Bour then removed her image, but the post continued to grow – which she feels perfectly represents to her students that even if they pull down the original content, they can’t control how it’s shared once it goes online.
Not a bad way to catch their attention now, is it?
