I am sure I am against principal but ... this entire incident is an example of gen-gap situation. Principal has could give only advice but cannot take steps of this manner. Making her feel ashamed or guilty in front of everyone is not done any way!
Facebook has kept a minimum age-limit, I guess 16. (May be 14.. I am not sure). But always there are two sides of the coin. Obviously the child is innocent and she got carried away by the trend.
Now since the parents have lost their child, they are angry and blaming the principal. Has the girl had not taken this step, even parents would have taken some stern steps to punish the child.. may be it is even scolding her... So, I am unable to contemplate ...calling parents emotional or principal as strict..
If I am the principal, I would have explained the girl.. never would have ignored the student, thinking it is not my responsibility also!
I take the example of IF. We all know many small children are around. As an adult, I would give advice to the children. But clearly I know, where my limits are. With all possible manner, I will explain why it is not advisable for them to be hanging around. But I would never scold them nor argue... that children will pick up from other sources any way!
Children might pick up from other sources... but that does not mean, we too would add an element to spoil them.
