Again - Social Networkers: Beware. Some Charlotte-Mecklenburg (N.C.) teachers reportedly (News 14 Carolina article here) had some images and content on their Facebook pages that some parents and school board members thought was inappropriate - stuff like "I hate my students" and "I work in the ghetto," and images of drinking or partying. Of course your opinion of what's appropriate and what's not is subjective, but some people are working the images and comments into a clause that allows teachers to be punished and/or terminated for unethical conduct. I'd be upset as a parent, but should these teachers' pages be irrelevant and untouchable by the school board? Do the teachers have an obligation to not post these things.... or just to make sure no parent, student or administrator sees them? Or should we just not care - it's just personal? Does the fact that because they work with children mean that we are not allowed to know that they party... or like some of the rest of us, don't like their jobs or the people they work with?
This isn't the first time we've talked about this kind of thing here - Social networkers, beware.
