Parents need to take absolute care
This is an important topic with modern day relevance
connecting academic and family values. Literally, every school-going child in
the UAE is exposed to digital media in one way or another. Social media like
Facebook and WhatsApp are good when used with parental assistance. Prolonged
one-on-one correspondence and interactions on these online platforms without
supervision will definitely give opportunities to peep into one another’s
personal matters and many times it can go outside the boundaries of etiquette
and morality. A school-going child up to his graduate level does require
parental monitoring. Absolute care should be taken to follow them, their
activities within and outside school to make sure they are progressing on the
right path.
Children are exposed to knowledge and information much
easier than us and it is a parent’s duty to make sure that their children is
not going astray from his or his family’s goals and dreams. The educational
authorities and schools should give this subject greater thought and study the
probability of taking the right measures to define which medium and up to what
extent teachers and students can interact on social media.
