[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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]

So I should be posting photos of other people’s children on public social media profiles for anyone to see? Got it. Here I was thinking it was safer and more respectful to families to not post public photos of their children. Damn me for trying to be value student safety over fun and seeming like a teacher that’s “a good time at the beach” per a PP’s comment. It’s good to see the consensus is “please post public photos of my child and seem fun! Don’t think about their safety!” I guess I have been doing things all wrong not having a classroom social media page. Silly me.[/quote]

OH HUSH UP! Class social media pages are PRIVATE. YOU know it and I know it.

If I'm lying, go ahead and post the teacher's public page here. She won't know who did it and if it's public there won't be a problem.

Those classroom pages exist because the students want them to. They get a kick out of having a teacher on social media, seeing their friends in that light and they like showing their parents what they do in class. Social media wasn't big when I was in the classroom but my neices and nephews love their school and class social media pages. Are schools and libraries also wrong for having social media pages? Central office? They show students in action and their page is definitely public.

Now go ahead. Post the link to this teacher's "public" page.[/quote]

You don’t need a Twitter account to see most teacher’s class Twitter pages that DO feature pictures of children. Clearly your teacher doesn’t have one either or you just haven’t looked at it enough to know that. No need to bully people for having different opinions. There are pros and cons to being able to see pictures of your child by going on a twitter page and not needing to “follow” them to access the pictures. One con- everyone else can see too. One pro- seeing what they’re up too and not having to make a Twitter to see.

Everyone has different opinions and just because someone’s opinion is different then yours does not mean they have Mehtala health issues. That’s one very rude thing to say about someone you don’t know. It’s also insulting to all those who do. Grow up.[/quote]

Does my response mention mental health issues? Maybe you...nevermind.[/quote]
