As some families may know, there is a social media trend (mainly via the "TikTok" app) across the nation encouraging "monthly challenges" in the school environment. In September, these included stealing or damaging school property. In the ensuing（隨之而來） months, these "challenges" become even more disruptive to the school environment and, in most instances, are illegal.

 

To reinforce what is being taught at school about the importance of respect (for self and others), ethical behavior, and overall citizenship, we are asking for your partnership. Please speak with your child about their use of social media and the negative impact these fads/behaviors could have on our school community.

 

Thank you in advance for your support.

 

前兩天有問兒子是否有看抖音，他說沒有，他看過，覺得那個很傻。當時覺得他挺有想法，但沒問他為什麽他覺得傻，今天看了這個才明白了。進一步在網上搜了一下，才嚇了一跳，原來其它州很多所學校都在就此事發出抱怨和批評。因為這個“挑戰”很多都是不好的行為，甚至是犯罪。因為抖音來自中國，希望不要人們把這事和中國人聯係起來。

 

這兩天FACEBOOK 也有吹哨人出來揭露其為其自身的商業利益，置用戶的個人隱私和傷痛不顧，導致多人自殺，抑鬱。。。最近剛和國內和美國的朋友分享了一點想法：國內政府承擔了一部份的PARENTING（父母管教）職能，美國政府則完全沒有，因此美國孩子更容易因受不良信息的影響。

 

回家後問兒子，兒子說其它學校裏有學生挑戰偷馬桶成功的，他們學校有學生挑戰偷尿池成功的，還有他原來的一個同學轉到其它學校，說他們學校裏有挑戰偷監控器的。
