This book describes real cases of cyberbullying across many US states. Each situation is described briefly, the court rulings are given, and in some cases an update on the student involved is provided. I would not recommend this book to students, but for teachers and administrators I think it raises awareness of internet bullying in general, and the legalities involved. Overall, I did not like the book simply because I felt it promoted bullying under the protection of "freedom of speech" rather than spoke out against bullying. ( )

This book examines the problem of cyberbullying and its affects on both the victims and the perpetrators. The author is a judge, and therefore he has the knowledge and background to write such a book. The author looks at the issue of cyberbullying from a legal perspective; however, the scope of the book is mostly limited to cases of student against teacher. The layout of the book sometimes makes it difficult to read, for the author breaks up the text with excerpts of other cases inscribed in boxes. The cases themselves become repetitive and I would have liked for the author to have included more cases on student on student cyberbullying. I feel this would allow me more flexibility in using this book in my classroom were I to do teach a different subject. Although this book could be used to discuss the topic of free speech, I do not feel it is a sufficient source for the actual content, cyberbullying. The author does include references for further investigating if the reader did want to research the topic in depth. A teacher could refer a student to use this book as a reference if researching this topic. ( )

While primarily aimed at students, Jacob's book seeks to educate all involved in the particulars of when "free speech" is protected and when it is not. When does free speech become cyber bullying? The book illuminates the criteria gleaned from various court rulings that can be used to distinguish protected from unprotected speech. It is also somewhat entertaining. You can't help but think "What did this instructor do to curry such rancor?". I suppose we've all had teachers we didn't like. However, the vindictiveness of some students toward certain teachers screams that we are only hearing one side of the story. Sure, some students are problematic. Further, the school environment must be respectful to all. However, students must be treated humanely as well, and not as creatures to be tamed and bullied. More often than not, those who bully were often bullied themselves in the past. The weakest aspect of this book is that it only remotely touches on bullying of students by students -- a much more important topic in my opinion.

Ultimately, I believe the most important audience are educators and the educational administrations of public schools. As is the case for most Americans, they have little or no knowledge of the freedoms many have fought and died for. Many will find some of the cases disturbing. They will be troubled by the insolence of these students. Hopefully, the book will help burst their authoritarian bubble even if the book is a one-sided romp about cyber bullying. Free speech isn't always pretty. Some people will display their immaturity with it. Some people might say something you don't like. Witch hunts and overreactions can not only damage student's lives and paint our public schools as a den of ignorance, it can also be quite costly to the school district. In a time when funding of our public schools is an ever increasing problem, this aspect should also be considered. Many students were awarded large sums of money due to these overreactions.

I read this book for a class in a span of a couple days and, therefore, perhaps did not read the book the way it was intended. However, I found the book page to be distracting, and the material presented was repetitive and not very informative or surprising. I expected there to be more cases regarding student on student bullying, but rather most of the cases presented were concern student's rage against teachers and school administrators. Because of this fact, I believe the book title does not adequately preview the content. It should be noted that this book was written by a judge; therefore, the content only includes cases that made it to court. This book does not hold any weighty lesson. In fact, many times the bullies walk away with money awarded to them by the court. This book doesn't attack the central issue or moral matter of bullying, rather it is fear-mongering and rather dull.

I would not include this book in my curriculum or in a lesson plan. If anything, I would keep it on the shelf for students to check out on their own. However, I would rather select a book that provides students with solutions to bullying, rather than hit them with a ton of legal facts and case studies that seem to lack depth and perspective. ( )

This is not a book easily read from cover to cover. If I were to use this book as part of a lesson on bullying, I would take sample cases from it to discuss with the class. The lay out of the book involves various formats of information, cases are supported with further cases and side bars give extra information about those cases. The effect seemed cluttered and "like a magazine" as one person put it. This may be attractive to the "ADD" culture of today's youth, but ultimately I felt that it detracted from the seriousness of the book. ( )
