CELL PHONES – PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY

Dear parents, learners at Primary School who have access to whatsapp and facebook are breaking the user policy guidelines (due to the age restriction). We are appealing to you as parents, who provide the cell phone and the airtime. To take charge of the usage of the cell phone and ensure that your child does not engage in cyberbullying. These acts are perpetrated in and around the home and have its negative effects at school. The contradiction is, that many of the cases we hear should never have escalated if the child did not have access to a  cell phone. Parents, you must take charge and lead by example for cyber bullying not to occur.
