Everyone's watching

We’re public. That means anybody can see anything here. So students and parents beware. Act, and speak and write as you would in public, in front of your parents’ friends or in front of a college admissions counselor. There’s something about the psychology of staring at a screen that can make people meaner or more free with information than they would be face to face. (Remember middle-school IM frenzy?) Maybe the AP psychology teacher can tell us why. Or maybe someone’s senior exit can tell us why. Just remember: This is not MySpace or Facebook or LiveJournal. Doublecheck before you hit the send button, or before you post. It’s good training for future jobs.
