Comments on: Is Facebook Causing Lower Grades? http://www.dotcult.com/is-facebook-causing-lower-grades Ryan Jones Blogs About Internet Culture, Marketing, SEO, & Social Media Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:30:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lisa Wilberding http://www.dotcult.com/is-facebook-causing-lower-grades#comment-3699 Lisa Wilberding Tue, 14 Apr 2009 15:41:01 +0000 http://www.dotcult.com/is-facebook-causing-lower-grades#comment-3699 Interesting post Ryan. I agree and disagree. I know firsthand of "certain" teens who use FB ALL the time. In fact, they may even say they are working on a school project, when it's obvious they are sending their friends a new movie trivia post on FB;) I think some kids today are more addicted to FB than TV, WE or their iPods. So, yes, if kids are not studying it's because they are probably doing something else. I just think recently, in a lot of households, that "other stuff" is using FB! Parents, as usual, play an important role here. Bottom line is that if your child is getting bad grades, it's up to parents to eliminate the "other stuff" or moderate until their kids can prove their study habits are improving.
