[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes it's just a mistake. I had to let DD's middle school assistant principal know that I thought his dog was super cute and congrats on his time on last weekend's race. He hadn't realized. [/quote]

Why did you “have to” let him know?[/quote]

So he could make it private!  [/quote]

Why did you think he wanted to or should make it private? Why is it your job to tell an adult what to post?[/quote]

Oh my god. You are creating a problem where there was none. He was grateful I told him, he hadn't realized, and made it private. He was applying to become principal in another school within the district - having his social media private was a smart move. I didn't say "You should make it private" but more "You may not have realized, but the kids found your social media - cute dog, by the way - so I wanted to let you know in case that wasn't your intention." [/quote]

This aggravates me so much. I’m the teacher without social media who posted above, but why should I care if a family sees that I have a cute dog or ran in some race?

Why does my mere existence outside of the classroom have to be treated as if it is somehow wrong? The examples you provided are 100% innocent, yet the fact you felt the need to suggest to the principal these posts should be private implies that any life outside of a classroom is unsavory.

Educators are entitled to a life, and we shouldn’t feel bad about having interests outside of our profession. Ugh.[/quote]
