Ms. Langston is a popular teacher at Norton High. Tom, a student in her honors English class, learns her phone number by peeking at papers on her desk and sends her a text message about a homework assignment. Ms. Langston does not reply. The next day Tom asks why she “coldly ignored” a question about a homework assignment. Ms. Langston’s choice not to reply to the text message shows that she is aware that
| she should not communicate with students through an unmonitored technology | |
| Tom is trying to bait her into giving away answers to homework assignments |
| students should not, under any circumstances, text a teacher |
