Question 1 -
Other than a blanket "do no harm to X School" policy, I think it is
ridiculous for schools to instruct teachers/staff to NOT use social
media...
They can, especially private schools, but that doesnt make it right or
make it make sense...
Question 2 -
Yep... Students are in school to LEARN part of that is LEARNING that
there are boundaries of conduct that cannot be crossed inside or outside
of school... LEARNING goes beyond books/curriculum its also learning
about LIFE, and sometimes when you do something irresponsible, it
doesn't mean there are not ramifications/consequences beyond the
immediate consequence of the irresponsible behavior (Michael Vick
anyone?)
Short versions of very long soap boxes for me...
