At the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year, my religion teacher asked all students to make a twitter account for educational purposes to make it easier for him to grade the blogs that we have to post for the class. In just a few short months many of the students started using twitter more and more for recreational purposes and not for school. Students started using profanity and became careless with what they were posting on twitter.
Our teacher had a conversation with us about not swearing on twitter and if we want to use profanity, we need to make two accounts, one for school, and one for fun. Some people are upset with this because they say that their twitter is theirs and they should be allowed to say whatever they want on their twitter. I think that since our twitter accounts are for school we should not swear on our twitter until we are done with the class that requires us to have a twitter. We should respect the teacher and stop using profanity on the internet because once you say it, it is on the internet forever.
I personally started using profanity on twitter, however now I will stop swearing on the internet and I will try to help others stop using profanity on twitter as well. It is important to respect the teacher and even though the twitter accounts are ours, we got them because of religion class and we should not be using them to swear or say anything inappropriate.
