A school’s purpose is to educate and interact with students without distractions, but cyberbullying gets in the way of a perfect school community. Although, many people would think that cyberbullying would distract students a lot, in which they are correct, it also distracts teachers. In the same survey on British teachers, 15.9% claimed that cyberbullying had reduced their productivity and teaching effectiveness (Doc B). If a teacher is not teaching to their best ability, the students scores and grades will decrease which will affect the student’s education and the teacher's career. Plus, cyberbullying makes the staff members feel as if they’ve lost their “dignity and privacy,” (Doc E). Once students find out personal information about teachers and post it online, teachers begin to feel as if the young citizens, whom they teach now know everything they should not know. This then leads to the teachers always having that thought in their mind while “teaching” the kids. Teachers have two lives, a personal life and a work life, and these two should not interfere with each other. Finally, students are also distracted when cyberbullying takes place in school.

The twenty-first century saw the rapid rise of technology, internet access, and usage on social media platforms, introducing a new era of communication and interaction within a digital space.

If the school does not act on the situation that is affecting their students then it may interfere with the students learning and learning environment and that can lead to psychological, mental, and physical stress. If that is the case and it usually is then the school is held accountable for not taking any action on the situation. However when this happened in the past school districts played the same card every time this type of situation occurred and said that their hands were tied on the situation because it was not happening on school grounds. So cyberbullying was swept under the carpet and nothing was ever done to deal with cyberbullying happening. It was not very long until the school could no longer get away with doing nothing about online harassment and cyberbullying cases.
