As I indicated earlier and the teacher who just posted would agree is happening, young teachers are so used to the world of social media that they well may not realize how the lines of personal and professional need to be kept separated.  And they are often clueless to realize that if they surf the web online to learn about friends activities etc., wouldn't ou think parents - liked hiring administrators - just might look up new teachers!!  All teachers need to be told clearly and explicitly to clean up their on line presence (if possible), to realize if that anything out there which is not private needs to be viewed as public for all to find, and to not post photos of any students (especially those with SN) on line.  No one needs to see a new first grade teacher partying and "doing shots," whether a parent of a NT or SN student as it does bring into mind a question of their judgment both in terms of personal past decision-making and present professional decision-making given that this is not professional behavior.  With a SN daughter, I have always shied away from FB just for the reason of her privacy even now that she is employed as you just never know what "nut cases" are out there and it is so easy to find a complete address and to get a feel for a family's or individual's general patterns.

Note that the other reason I do not like FB in particular is that you may do all you can to protect your NT and SN children, but then their images or even names may well appear up on a friend's or relative's FB page.   [/quote]
