Rosie DiManno in the Toronto Star - "Don't Tweet If You Can't Take The Heat"

In olden days — and I’m talking, geez, maybe a decade ago — nasty notes surreptitiously passed around the classroom by students would draw a teacher’s wrath if intercepted.

If sufficiently objectionable, porn-y, vicious, threatening, there might be hell to pay: detentions, suspensions, parents summoned to the principal’s office. (During my youth, a few smacks with a ruler against the palms. Yes Mr. Woods, I do remember.)

The quick-thinking kid, given half a chance, might even eat the evidence before it became Exhibit A for the inquisition.

But you can’t eat a tweet . . . .
