I Foot Believe It!

Is this appropriate? What should the facebook situation be? Where do we draw the line?

Violence

Bullying as really become a major issue in Jewish day schools. I know that Azrieli has and continues to have various seminars about the problem. Look at these scary stats.

Hopefully this isn't as much of an issue!

Facebook Lomdus

Check this interesting article. It is important to note the message of these statistics because facebook is all the rage in Jewish day schools too. However, what I found most interesting was the approach to the findings. I always appreciate a good Chakira. What we have here is a classic Siman vs. Siba. Does extensive use of facebook cause grades to suffer, or is it an indicator that such a person most likely doesn't do as well in school.

Personally, I have a hard time believing it's a Siba. 

What say you?
