Question

when students criticize the administration
and its decisions

Answer 1

No. It is generally not appropriate for teachers to punish students for their online speech, especially when it involves criticism of school administration and its decisions, as long as the speech does not violate school policies or disrupt the educational environment. Students have rights to free speech, which should be protected, particularly in informal online settings.
