Not all the bad things will get reported. Many won't involve any participants who'd care to report them. The school will suffer regardless, if it comes out that they missed something and a bad thing happened that was connected to it (not even necessarily if it was caused by it).
"But they'll just do this on other forms of chat that the school can't monitor!" Yes, they will, but the school won't face multimillion dollar lawsuits over that.

- _aavaa_ 4y agoI don’t know what the laws are where you are, but I believe that they should include the right to privacy for the students. They have a right to not live in a panopticon for 12+ years of their life because they might do something bad. I also imagine that one lawsuit like this will set a precedent, and then there will either be multi-million dollar settlements, or people will decide that children should not be placed in a panopticon. But either way, this counter argument is based on the implicit assumption that the school should be providing an “official” system through which the students should talk to each other. Get rid of that, and problem solved. Have an official channel for parent-student, parent-teacher. And let the students talk amongst themselves the way they wish.
