I find it odd that ROTC world use such a silly app for something relatively important like communicating schedules and meeting times. The whole point of it, it would seem, would be to streamline communication while still keeping a record. Facebook is much better for that because a closed group page has a calendar and will automatically send everyone reminders. Any scheduling conflicts can be discussed, etc.

For me, it’s not so much about hiding but about being prematurely or inadvertently exposed to things because of the way Snapchat stories work. Like, I am an adult, and I have still seen things on my own friends’ Snapchat stories that I didn’t want to see
People can also send you a “private snap,” and you don’t know what it is until you open it. So it could be an unsavory photo.
So yeah, maybe we could hide behind landlines and handwritten notes, but I couldn’t sext or receive unsavory photos on a piece of notebook paper or landline...and once I see something, I am the kind of person who can’t unsee it.
I don’t think as many teens have Facebook nowadays
They seem to think it’s mostly for “us old people” haha.
I agree that using Snap for ROTC just seems really silly and unwise. I get that it’s fun. But it isn’t the best choice for communication, imo.
I do think if a parent is going to let a kid get Instagram or Snapchat, they should also create an account so they really understand how it works
