Almost thirty students at one English girls’ school are learning the lesson that posting their every thought on the internet may not be such a good idea…or are they? Members of Facebook’s The Hate Society were punished after insulting a teacher who later required counseling for the verbal attacks. “It was just a stupid game that no one took any notice of,” remarked one of the offenders, apparently ignorant of the teacher’s reaction. “We have said sorry.” The school, Grey Coat, traces its origins to 1698, and includes as part of its code of conduct that students should “avoid behaving in a way which is threatening, rude, hurtful or humiliating.”
