Social media misbehavior affecting local kids and schools requires a prudent decision.
Lincoln-Way Patch users, Patch editors are aware of the existence of a social media account through which someone is posting obscene, hurtful, slanderous and humiliating comments about a number of children who attend Lincoln-Way high schools.

Out of the nine only three seem to be logical assets to our school, important subjects of math, science, and English, that much is understandable. But what of the other six? Are they really necessary? Just what exactly is required from them? How many students do they deal with as compared to a math or science teacher or even a history teacher?
