As the new school year is off with a bang, we are seeing a great deal of external circumstances that add to the already challenging responsibility of educating our youth. This year we have already heard of the "Devious Licks" challenge that resulted in vandalism within our schools for TikTok notoriety. The new challenge is the "Slap a Teacher Challenge".

The Slap a Teacher Challenge is a new TikTok trend which requires students to walk up to their teachers and slap them, ensuring that they capture the whole thing on camera. Obviously, that can be deemed as assault and understandably the challenge has received backlash from teachers and parents. Some schools around the country have informed their community of this and previous TikTok challenges.

We hope this insight provides you with some additional information to be aware and mindful of what is going on. The purpose is to always ensure that you protect your peace and always find ways to fill your cup so you can continue being the best at what you do through teaching, loving, and protecting our young people.
