High School Facebook Protocol

[piercehawkeye45]

When posting publicly on sites such as Facebook, people ideally should be aware of who might be reading their posts. We act differently around different people in face to face conversations, but on Facebook everyone can read whatever we have to say. For most people, it is their choice whether or not they put themselves in awkward or embarrassing situations but teachers should be held to a different standard because of the position they hold.


Monster, there is a new option on facebook where you can hide certain posts from certain people. If you decide to do something, maybe politely remind this teacher that every single one of his/her facebook friends can see his/her posts, including your daughter (or his/her students). I would guess this teacher just forgot that, many people do, so getting anyone else involved could potentially escalate the situation in ways it doesn't need too.


Although, I do agree that, for High School and below, teachers and coaches should not be fb friends with their students.
