Is this inappropriate for a teacher?

Sorry for two posts in one day especially as my first day posting but just a quickie
My friend is a teacher and has just started in a school. She has posted a picture of some lines set as a punishment for one her pupils (no name just the lines) which say
"I won't talk when dollymixtureyumyums friend is talking" over 100 times with the status update above it saying "no she won't ha ha
Would I be right in telling said friend to tread carefully

I thought she was probably newly qualified!
I wouldn't like to say what will happen but at the least she will be spoken to I would have thought.
Did reporting friend have any evidence of it as she might just deny it if it's been taken down.

She took a screen shot and sent it with email

Of course it's different Juno! People on fbook know your DH is a teacher at a certain school so the child could very well be identified. In any case besides that it's just not a nice thing to do. Would you like it if you went to see a DR about something and perhaps made some naive comment and that was spread across fbook? It's just so unprofessional. I'm aghast that his boss is in favour of it. To me it's a massive no no. It's incredibly disrespectful to the child and their family. I share funny stories within the 4 walls of my house about my class but nowhere else.

I have lots of teacher friends on Facebook and I have never seen anything like this, so it's certainly not the norm at all. I don't think you're DH is a good teacher at all Junosmum , in fact I think he's a very unprofessional shit one.

I'm with the consensus here. Teachers should never post about their job on FB, let alone share images of children's work. It doesn't really matter about privacy settings - there are always ways to circumvent them, and in fact I'm not convinced that once you've set them they stay in place anyway.

I'm kind of surprised anyone thinks any differently, really. It's common sense.

Good for your reporting friend

Absolutely stunned that some poster think that this is ok
