Trashing teachers on social media. Classy.

The school and the teacher need to know what type of woman this parent is. Definitely take a screenshot and get it to the Principal and teacher.

OP again. Really? Up until now, it's been such thrilling and overboard topics as:

"Grandma's visiting and wants to go to lunch with Katie. What time is lunch again?"

"Does anyone have the field trip form? I can't remember whether we pack a regular lunch, or if it needs to be all-disposable."

"Does someone have the link to buy tickets for Fall Fest?"

Ugh. Thrilling, indeed. Are people so hopeless these days they can't find the link for Fall Fest themselves and need to join a group?

I doubt anyone would ask anything from a sarcastic shrew like yourself. So nothing to worry about.

No, that's the kind of stuff I take a screenshot of as soon as I see it - before it gets edited or taken down. It shows a true picture of the parent and is a bad showing for all of the other parents. I would take a screenshot, send it to the PTA president, the principal and the teacher.

As a teacher, I'd prefer not to know. If you feel strongly, you can send to the principal. There's not much anyone can really do at the school level. If a parent wants to send a private message, that would be more effective.

A different teacher. I want to know who's talking behind my back and what they're saying. Send it.

Really? You care that someone is not keen on you? Wow.

What if teachers had a FB group and posted nasty comments about parents of students?

No, I want to know if a parent of one of my students is trash talking me. It will make a difference in how I interact with that parent.

Apparently all the fuss was not over actually trash talking, just one comment that one parent was 'not too keen' on her kid's teacher. Honestly, I don't understand why anyone would care one way or the other. It os a bigger problem if you let personal opinions or random social media posts affect your professional interactions. Its a job, act professional.

My colleagues and I don't post on facebook. We get together for drinks. 3, 4, 5 hours worth of drinks and food with lots of stories that you have to be drunk-ish to laugh about.

Would never trash teachers. However, at least they are doing it honestly and openly with their names rather than posting about "whiny teachers" on an anonymous board.

That's the thing. The parent wasn't being very professional and this wasn't a random post. I agree with the teacher. S/he should know. If you work for a corporation, doesn't your marketing and PR department pay as much (if not more) attention to monitoring the negative as well as the positive? That's what they're supposed to do. The teacher is wise to want to know if a parent isn't a fan AND that the parent is pretty immature / low class / prone to emoting / prone to broadcasting things that shouldn't be said.
