When a student saw compromising images a classmate had posted of herself on Instagram she did what she had been taught to do: She alerted a teacher. “We do a lot of talking to girls in the school to get them to understand what constitutes appropriate behaviour online,” explains Jan Sullivan, vice-principal, student life, at Bishop Strachan School in Toronto. “The result is that the girls are now policing themselves. They have learned quickly what is good and what might be very bad to post about yourself on social media.”
