Your business should have its own, separate account anyway. So set one up with a new email and probably new IP address as well.

[b]And no school should be depending on Twitter, of all things, to announce news. Surely they also have, gasp, a web site? Or send e-mails? I can't believe any school, at least not a public one, would use Twitter [u]alone[/u] for anything that needed to get out to ALL parents.[/b] If the PTA uses it as the communication of choice, that's crappy, since many people aren't on it and have zero desire ever to get on it--especially now. Tell the school (or PTA if that's what you mean) they need to use other platforms too.

Don't waste energy being angry about the suspension. Probably your account was hacked somehow or they mistook you for someone else. It's not personal though it feels that way. Some algorithm flagged you and no human being there gives a damn about correcting a bot's work. [/quote]

I'm not OP, but I am a mom who has experienced "needing" social media, including Twitter, to get information for my kids.   Not the school itself, but my oldest's high school XC team coach communicated exclusively through Twitter.   That was how anything about practice, team photos, when to arrive at school for the bus to the meet, etc.--all communicated through Twitter.
My other kid is on the high school football team and messages to parents is done primarily through facebook and another messaging app called "Remind."

It's frustrating, because I'd really rather quit social media--but it would make it a lot harder on my kids.[/quote]

I hate crap like this -- requiring people to get accounts on specific platforms. Used to be "You need Facebook, that's how we'll post all information" and now it's "You have to have Twitter to see crucial stuff like what time to arrive for the bus" etc. I'd do it if I had to but I'd want to rip that coach a new one. A group of us parents resisted when one of my kid's extracurriculars was going to post information exclusively on Facebook -- the organization backed down and used both Facebook and a simple website. A lot of the parents did not want to get onto FB. So glad now that I didn't get onto Facebook since I know people whose accounts have been hacked or who now are concerned about what Facebook does with their personal information etc. I get it -- if that coach is going to communicate only on Twitter, you don't have much choice. But I think it's a jerk move to dictate social media accounts as essential for information about an activity for which you're paying. [/quote]
