BIS students target teachers on TikTok “Degrading” comments, video clips and images targeting Belmont Intermediate School (BIS) staff have been posted on TikTok by students at the school. Students used fake accounts displaying the school’s name and logo. The school investigated for two weeks and found “degrading and inappropriate images
and comments were explicitly directed at members of our teaching staff”, principal Nick Hill said in a school newsletter. “This has had a detrimental effect on many of my colleagues, and I am sure you will agree that there is no place for this within our community,” he said. “Several students and their families were
spoken to, along with the entire student body.” Hill asked parents to speak to their children about appropriate use of social media. The Flagstaff staff contacted BIS on Monday for more information, but was told the school wasn’t making any further comment.
