This book is aimed at academics, educators, and government policy makers who are concerned about addressing emerging cyber-bullying and anti-authority student expressions through the use of various technologies, including but not limited to cell phone and the Internet. There is a current lack of policy relating to the extent of educators' legal responsibilities to intervene when such events takes place outside of school hours and school grounds, using home computers and personal cell phones. Students, teachers, and school officials are often the targets of these events. The author analyzes government and school responses by reviewing positive paradigms. She reviews a range of legal frameworks and judicial decisions from constitutional, human rights, child protection, tort law perspectives, and redirects attention to legally substantive and pluralistic approaches that can help schools balance student free expression, supervision, safety, and learning.
