[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   The new SN teacher strikes me as very green so I googled her to find out her past experience. (The school never shares this). I found her public FB and IG and she posts photos of students including mine and some self-congratulatory humble brag crap about how tough it is working with SN kids but just seeing their smiles blah blah. She's young and I doubt she meant to come across as full of herself and condescending about "special kids." We keep a low profile online and I'm highly annoyed she did this without permission. Names of kids are not there, but they are clearly identified as special needs and attending blah blah elementary. We don't want to offend her since DC gets lots of pull out and pull-in. I feel strange saying I found your FB and IG and please take down my kid's photo. On the other hand IMO she has no right and we want the photos taken down. There's an added piece I can't go into about why we don't post our photos online. [b]WWYD?[/b][/quote]

Report it to the principal and tell him/her that the pictures need to come down. That behavior has to stop.

If the pictures didn't come down, my lawyer would be sending a letter re. invasion of privacy to the school and a cease and desist letter to Facebook and Instagram.

If she loses her job, too bad. She was taught better in college. [/quote]

You'll just be punishing your dc if you go down that route. Her replacement will be forewarned to have as little as possible with your dc.[/quote]

Fight that battle when you come to it and quit being a coward.[/quote]

+1  It's not a battle but the teacher needs to know that posting pics of her students on FB is unacceptable and would be unacceptable for NT students not just SN and stating that the pics are of SN students brings it to a whole another level of unacceptable.

Report her to the principal.  The school obviously needs to "teach" their teachers about their internet policy.  I cannot think of a business where this type of posting will be considered appropriate or professional.

She may lose her job but her judgement is obviously poor.  Not sure if you want someone like this as your child's SN teacher.

We filed a state complaint about our school not following the IEP and the SN teacher involved eventually resigned and left the school.  Made our relationship with the school a lot better actually.  Turns out many people who worked at the school were happy she left.[/quote]

Huge judgement gap and impact difference between Teacher A posting photos and Teacher B not implementing an IEP.[/quote]

True but it illustrates that reporting a teacher and notifying the admin does not always result in a "bad" future relationship between parents, child and the school nor the school taking out on the child with SNs.  We have a lovely, much better SN teacher this year.[/quote]
