OPINION: Social Media Should be Studied in School

For anyone living in denial, social media is here to stay. Yeah sure, in years to come it may be a little different but with the popularity of apps such as Instagram and TikTok at all time highs, employment in social media related fields skyrocketing and accessibility as easy as picking up a phone, we need to educate rather than issue blackout bans. A learning program designed for high schools that focuses on communication and social media is a valuable concept to explore and being seriously considered overseas with Florida currently debating a bill to include social media literacy in their school curriculum.
