this is interesting. "In the RJC incident, the student was reported as having used a handphone camera to film a teacher berating a classmate for a piece of work that had apparently not been done satisfactorily. The teacher was also captured on film when she — in a dramatic finale to her outburst — tore up the student’s work." The questions asked in the article get to the heart of the student-teacher relationship. Students are expected to show respect for teachers, but does this respect extend to the tolerance of inappropriate behaviour? Also, as Steve Outing comments in Poynter's E-Media Tidbits, "Rather than a teacher's word going against a student's, the balance of power shift thanks to this concrete evidence."
