Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
Yeah that was pretty dumb of them. Didn't they realize unless they put their settings on Private, anybody can see it?

It happened in my district a few years ago with MySpace.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
I am very careful with it. I know a few teachers that have students as their friends. Totally inappropriate because some of the students have their profiles open with alcohol in the pictures. It's wrong of the teacher to accept them as friends.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
I am on Facebook and so is DH. Everything is on private settings for both of us. First of all posting inappropriate pics is stupid anyway and then NOT to have it set on private?? You deserve to be fired!
I would never ever let befriend any of my students on facebook.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
wow! how dumb of them! unless perhaps, honestly, they did not know that you can set it to private? also did they specifically list the district on their info. page as their employer?
mine is set on private and only friends can see it-- not friends of friends and i also do not list my district's name as my employer. i also ignore requests from former and current students to be my friend.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
Yes, it's not to smart on there part, but to be fired, that is kind of harsh, what about a warning first.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
I have all of my settings on private and I deny all friend requests from students. I teach 8th grade and they all think it's hysterical that I have a Facebook page, so I get requests all the time.
I love my students...but they're not my friends. They don't need access to my private life.
Those teachers showed really poor judgement....I'm guessing the FB aspect was only part of the reason they were fired.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
I definitely would never list the district as an employer, but I do have a few former students as friends. They are in their mid-20's though, they befriended me when a former student died and it was nice to speak with them.
on the otherhand, I had a current student at the time) find my wedding pictures on LIW.

Re: Teachers/TA's and Facebook
Really dumb to not have it on private.  I wonder what kind of pictures they posted? drinking? drug use? nudity? I think firing is harsh in cases of drinking or clothed sexy poses but necessary if the pictures involved drug use or child pornography. (in addition to being arrested!)

they are really idiots for that!!!
my bro knew someone who was fired because a student had sent he a message and all he said back was something like I can not talk to you on this please do not continue to try
