Question

The passage shows two sides of this debate: Should schools have the right to monitor students’ online activity? All of the following are arguments AGAINST schools having the right to monitor students’ online activity EXCEPT

monitoring students’ online activity violates their freedom of speech

students need to learn that there are consequences to their actions

teachers don’t have the right to monitor students outside of school

parents, not educators, should oversee their children’s actions

Answer 1

The argument that is NOT against schools having the right to monitor students’ online activity is:

**students need to learn that there are consequences to their actions.**

This statement implies a rationale for monitoring, suggesting that it is appropriate for schools to intervene in order to teach students about the repercussions of their behavior. All the other statements present arguments against school monitoring.
