This case probes the ethical challenges that admissions officers at elite schools face in the age of social media. Should all of a young person's online history be open for scrutiny? How should admissions officers acknowledge that students are in the process of development?

A person's online history is private and should remain as such. There *may* be reason to pry into a student's online history (such as bomb threat investigations), but I personally doubt such an occasion will occur. If we reveal our students' online histories it could easily lead to public humiliation or bullying, not to mention that it is a violation of privacy due to data privacy laws.

Students depending on the age may have more monitoring than others. Such as during assessments and working. Free time on the computer is a different story and should not be monitored past what the district deems acceptable. Most sites that the schools do not want students on has been blocked.

This is a hard one because growing up in the age of social media we are always taught that whatever we post stays online forever. However, at what age does it stop counting towards out career.

Children deserve privacy too. Unless they lose the privilege by violating computer guidelines, I don't think it's necessary to consistently check student history. However, if they are elementary aged students, I can understand doing so to make sure they are on the right path to internet safety. This involves teaching web safety, too.
