If you choose to work with children please keep your photos to yourself. I would QUIETLY tell school admin and ask them to speak to teacher. Doesn't do anyone any good if word gets out!

Okay, so teachers lose their first amendment rights when they choose to teach?

As long as a teacher isn't showing the pictures to students or otherwise mixing them up with her teaching, I don't see why the school has to know.

I'll just add that as long as said pictures don't become a distraction--ie: students find out about them--there's no big deal.

The problem is that so many parents are more concerned with trying to run schools and teachers than they are with worrying about their own homes and families. As long as the teacher is effective in the classroom (and his pics haven't become a known issue), MYOB.

The fact that some parents think it's okay to expose a teacher's past like that is ridiculous. Everyone has a past/things they'd like to keep private. How about I QUIETLY tell your boss about the affair or money troubles your family is having? Don't those two things mean you lack integrity, are untrustworthy, and too irresponsible to handle your own finances to be trusted with your employers business?

See how that works? [/quote]

Right. Everyone has a right to their private life and just because some PPs don't like it doesn't mean they should have any power to expose anyone's private life.

Why stop there? What about any pictures your pediatrician might have out there? Should you try to get her fired as well by helpfully telling the hospital administration? After all, doctors should be held to a higher standard. See? Not such a slippery slope.[/quote]
