Messages, posted anonymously via the app, are hurtful and unnecessary, administrators say
An anonymous message board app that students in some districts are using to tease teachers and fellow students has parents and educators alarmed, not only because of how it is being used, but because the app, Gaggle–Local Message Board, shares a name with Gaggle.Net, a popular safe online teaching and learning solution.
District leaders are urging schools to block the app and are asking parents to be on the lookout for it, due to the negative way students are using it.
Student use of the app at one high school in the Katy Independent School District prompted the school’s principal to block it from the school’s network and send an eMail to parents to alert them to the situation, according to one local news outlet.
