To be getting annoyed with teachers Facebook posts?

[CundtBake]

A family friend of mine recently qualified as a teacher

Since then she's posted a load of things on Facebook basically slating parents. Posts about how people should really parent, 'the problem with parents today' etc etc.

Now I understand that as a teacher she will have to deal with the most annoying parents out there, and I'm sure it's frustrating. But AIBU to think that being a teacher doesn't necessarily make you an expert on parenting? She doesn't have children of her own yet, and I guess I can't help but feel judged myself by her posts.

(I do know that this isn't the biggest problem in the world)

I teach SEN 14+ and I never ever ever discuss bad things or even boring things on FB. I only ever say how wonderful teaching is. And I post when you need to sow x and y or plant z. Nothing else, ever. Oh, recipes. Apart from recipes. People genuinely think my world is sunshine and roses.

I'm a teacher and never post anything about work on FB at all - not even to say I've had a good day. I would certainly never dream of commenting on parents or children in even a general way. I think you might want to point out to your friend how unprofessional she is being and - depending on her school's social media policy - she could get into trouble for it as well.

Teachers are placed in a position of responsibility and trust. Although they do not have an official oath at the moment, they are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
My son is at nursery and I would be fuming if one of the nursery workers was posting on FB criticizing parents.
I run a contracting company and once went to do a quotation for a nursery and the manager of the nursery launched into a diatribe about not wanting the funded 2 year olds to attend her nursery as the parents were lazy benefit scroungers. I left speechless.

She's going to get one hell of a shock should she ever have kids of her own. Having your own and teaching them are poles apart.

Also, she must have the emotional intelligence of a raisin if she thinks this is an appropriate way for her to behave.

We have something in our contracts about discussing things outside of school. We are not allowed to talk about a lot of things and especially if the school is somehow linked. Most of her fb contacts will know where she works, if she has updated her work but everyone will know. It's gross misconduct and we get fired.

Wonders if there's two nqt that are naive

I'd be really surprised if the school doesn't have a strict social media policy which she would almost certainly be in breach of. She is definitely acting unprofessionally.

Most of the teachers I know either have a fairly minimal online presence or don't use their real names. Some don't use social media at all.

She also needs to look at her privacy settings. Its very unprofessional of her to moan about her work online as it would be with most jobs. Could you imagine what tesco's would do if one of their workers starting moaning about the costumers or if you were an electrician and moaned about a client. Its just generally not done.
