An email with the subject "Tic Tok Trend".
It says:
Students and Parents,
We are aware of the Tik Tok trend involving students inserting small metal objects (such as paper clips, pushpins, pencil lead, etc.) into the charging ports of their Chromebooks. This can result in creating sparks, electrical fires, and/or battery punctures, all of which can cause serious injury and damage.
After this message, if a student chooses to participate in this inappropriate behavior, the student may be charged the replacement fee for a new Chromebook. Additionally, the student will face disciplinary action in the form of out of school suspension (OSS).
We are asking for your support in speaking with your child about the dangers of this behavior, as well as reinforcing the importance of treating school-issued devices with care.
A purple button at the bottom says “View, Appreciate or Reply”, and a note underneath states “Please do not reply to this email.”
Wanna know the perfect way to ensure students continue doing this kinda stuff?
I can guarantee there are probably a good amount of kids that would see that in an email and most likely fry their device just to ensure they don't gotta go to school anytime soon because they don't care.
It appears that the email is being sent to parents though.
I imagine these students have ways of getting that info. All it takes is one rotten egg getting the news and spreading it to other students who don't like school.
