[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoom is free but my children’s privacy matters more than anything. Teachers can send material but should not expect students and parents to post videos and pictures online. [/quote]

Agree.[/quote]

I’m a teacher and I agree. I don’t have a Twitter or IG for my class either. A lot of teachers do and I don’t think most parents look. I’d rather just email them pictures of the kids than post on a platform like Twitter or Instagram. I think a big part of why teachers use those is to show off what they’re working on and try to make themselves look like the perfect teacher to impress their admin or people on job interviews. I have no business posting photos of my students for just anyone to see. My team teacher has Twitter and you don’t need an account to go on and see photos of our students. It might make her look like a better teacher but I honestly worry about just anyone stealing the images or knowing where the student in the photo goes to school and who their teacher is. That’s too much information to give out to the public in my opinion. Maybe I look like a lazy teacher by not having a class Twitter or IG, but honestly I just value my students’ safety a lot.

I made a flip grid during this time and I think it’s good because you need a “.edu” email to get in. No one else can access the flip grid or post to it. It’s optional just so students can see each other. I pray that doesn’t somehow get hacked because now I’m worrying some creep could get my password and post on my flip grid... yikes! I guess it calls for a very strong password.

I’m not a fan of online teaching already. Thank you to all the parents for their patience. We want to connect with the kids and teach them but also respect privacy of families. [/quote]

Wow, I have no idea who you are but you sound toxic.  I would hate for you to be teaching my children when you are so negative and derogatory about your colleagues.  Sheesh.  I think you need to find a different profession.[/quote]

I agree this person sounds way too judgmental. But your response is over the top funny. I love these types of comments. It makes me laugh to see that some people think their anonymous online insults carry weight or that anyone cares about whether you’d want them as their child’s teacher. PP doesn’t sound like good time at the beach but you come across MUCH MUCH worse. You’re just distastefully rude for no reason.[/quote]

Huh.  The first poster slams her colleagues, the second poster cites her for it, and you slam the second poster?  You're another teacher I don't want around my kids.  Here is the behavior dynamic:  instigator, tattle tale, teacher reprimands tattle tale.  Yikes all around for bad judgement from posters 1 and 3.[/quote]

The 2nd poster didn’t cite anything. She was worse than the first poster who sits in jealous judgement of her more tech-savvy, progressive colleagues. They both suck but Mean Mommy sucks more.[/quote]
