Be the School Principal
Activity: Have fun role-playing with your tween!
Take turns pretending to be a school administrator reading the posts below. Has the school’s digital use policy or code of conduct been violated?
- My teacher is so dumb.
- Can you believe what Alex did today? We can’t be friends with them anymore.
- I’m so sick of school. I wish I could burn it down, LOL.
