Photos with teachers

[supermoonrising]

My daughter just finished preschool and on “graduation” day had a great photo with all three of her teachers. What’s the etiquette about sharing that kind of photo on Facebook? (IE my daughter with her three teachers). I don’t have anyone related to the school as a Facebook contact.

Would you think it’s Ok to share? Share with their permission? Or better not share?

To be honest, I've never given much thought about photos of me being shared by parents. When I was a reception teacher, parents would take photos of me with their child on their first day and some of those photos were probably put on social media. It's just not something I could get worked up about.

Ok thanks. That was my guess as well.

I’d be more concerned if you were sharing pictures of other children in the same picture on social media without their parents consent or knowledge. A child’s childhood should be kept off social media, but that’s just how I feel. I look back at what I looked like as a child and can say hand on heart I’d hate anybody being able to google those images...lol...

Why not email to friends and family? Just guarantees no one else will have sight ... just a suggestion ... honestly, no judgement here!

I wouldn't mind - it's me being professional in my professional role. Just don't name the teachers.

I know lots of teachers/ people in early education who go out of their way to stay off of social media. I'd run it past them first.

It would be polite to ask them. I wouldn’t want my photo shared like that personally but some wouldn’t mind. I think some would mind if was done without their knowledge.

As a teacher, I’d only agree to pose for a photo if I was happy with it being shared. Once the parent has taken the photo I can’t control what they do with it. So if I was unhappy about it being on social media, I’d refuse to pose (or at least make it very clear how I felt before it was taken). Polite to ask still I’d say.

Just her + 3 teachers? Ask them

Whole class + teachers? Do not even consider sharing. You don't know which children are in the foster system, running from DV or any other reason their guardians need to keep them off social media.

I'll be honest and say I've not even considered this before. Teachers often post with children with certificates etc throughout school and I've always put them on social media.
School always remind parents not to put other children on social media but have never mentioned the teachers. Like someone else has said, i assume they would say when having the photo if it was a problem.
