Trashing teachers on social media. Classy.

[Anonymous]

Well, here's a new low. A mom in our "Fellow parents of 1st graders at X Elementary" FB group posted this gem:

"I have pictures from [name of pizza establishment that hosted a fundraiser night.] How can I get them to the school. Not too keen on her teacher. #didijustsaythatoutloud"

Well, yeah, you did just say that out loud. With your full name attached to the post. Stay classy, first grade mom!

I cannot believe that. Are people really so dumb as to trash talk their child's teacher with their full name right there on social media?

It’s gross, but teachers are one of a few groups that people feel free to openly disparage.

Take a screenshot before the mom realizes she should take it down in case the mom decides to actually send the pics to the school. The school should know what kind of person this woman is. What exactly what the pictures show the teacher doing at the fundraiser?

Kind of can’t believe that’s a FB group at all. I hear the helicopters whirring.

OP here. I think she just meant she had taken photos of her own family/teacher at the fundraiser. Part of the draw was "take a photo with your teacher," and they were asking for people to submit their photos for the yearbook.

Which makes this all the more disgusting. That teacher took time out of her schedule to come participate in the fundraiser.

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?"

Maybe she feels like she has nothing to lose? I feel sorry for the kid and the teacher.

Wow, you don’t get out much if you think teachers are at the top of that list.

So gross. What a trashy mother. I hope I don’t know anyone like that.

Hmm. So its not ok to dislike a teacher now? I really don't think saying you aren't keen on a teacher equates to trashing anyone. Maybe there is a reason she doesn't like the teacher, they really aren't all good.

I guess it was an unnecessary comment, not related to the purpose of the post. What’s the purpose of adding the part about not being keen if all you need is info about getting pics to the school?

+1. Totally unnecessary.

Also, there's a difference between making a private remark in a circle of friends versus making literally a written public statement that, with one screen shot, can last forever. Your privacy settings can be whatever; if anyone chooses to share what you wrote, it's essentially public.

She put that on, so people wouldn't just tell her to take them to the teacher, I suppose. It does seem relevant.

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.

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?
