What can a teacher do?

Cyberbaiting raises some serious questions, beginning with  whether or not teachers should be friends with their students on Facebook.

Cyberbaiting? 

 

A variation of cyberbullying, cyberbaiting is when a student irritates his teacher until the teacher loses his temper. The student then films the incident on his mobile phone and uploads the video onto the Internet, with the aim of embarrassing the teacher and the school. 

 

According to recent findings, 20 percent of teachers have personally experienced or knows another teacher who has experienced cyberbaiting!!

 

How does a "cyberbaited" teacher feel?

The effect of cyberbaiting on teachers is most probably very similar to the effect of cyberbullying on children, teens or tweens. 
 
Similarly to cyberbullied kids,  teachers probably feel sad, anxious, hurt, ashamed and frustrated, and the list goes on.
