The short answer is, no, OP, you don't say anything to her unless she crosses a boundary that violates the privacy of your child.

I need an example of something that is that inappropriate. As of now I am judging you not her.

It is also a bad example for her students for how to behave in public. Kids are so confused about social media anyways.
Is it a public profile? Is she FB friends with other parents? I think you should unfriend her and call it a day. You are overthinking this and I am sure there are more pressing matters that your energy could be spent on.

Wait, why do you get to decide if what someone does on their personal Facebook page is unprofessional/inappropriate? Unless she is posting nude selfies or sharing private information about your children than it seems to me like it's perfectly appropriate. It's Facebook not Linkedin after all.

So remove her from your timeline updates...Learn how to manage your news feed instead of complaining about it. It's not terribly difficult to do.
If she wants to share, it's her prerogative. No-one is forcing you to read it.

The posts about the kids are sweet and vague enough that they don't violate any privacy so they don't bother me.

Over sharing about her life or about the children? If it's the children, you could ask/remind her that you only feel comfortable with you deciding what about your kids can go on social media. If it's her, it's unfortunate but you really can't say anything.
