Schools say they can only do so much to teach students about proper online behaviour.
A private school principal who had to steer his students and their families through public fallout over a spreadsheet ranking female students’ appearances has told parents to do more to teach their children about online risks and behaviour.School Summit on Thursday, Yarra Valley Grammar School principal Dr Mark Merry said schools were doing the right thing in teaching students about respect, diversity and dignity, but parents needed to pull their weight too.
The students shared the spreadsheet of photos of their classmates to messaging app Discord, ranking them in categories including “wifeys”, “cuties”, “mid”, “object”, “get out” and then finally “unrapable”. “You read on a day-to-day basis about AI. I didn’t know what deep AI was … until I read about it the other day. And I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God, is that going to start impacting our schools?’ So you’re always on alert,” he said.
“We’re dealing with a generation where that’s who they are,” Pyers said. “We need to educate students on how to use and how to behave.”
