Uhm WTF I know that person LOL
Ok, know more like means I have met her, but yeah. Wasn't expecting to see someone I had met  Yeah, around here you aren't even supposed to order
wine with dinner if you are a high school or elementary teacher.

When I was in high school teachers were supposed to buy alcohol "at least one county over" to minimalize the possibility of a student or parent seeing them with it. I went to a public school too. People were so freaking strict and weird about alcohol. One time, two moms saw my parents buying beer because we were having a party during the weekend. We had maybe a few 12 packs and it was over some holiday weekend so we also had other barbecuing type foods. By the first of the week there was a rumor circulating around the school that my parents were alcoholics  Dumb bitches.

Of course they are stupid and insignificant pictures, but she should not have put that out there if that's the mentality of the town. As a teacher, you have to know better and always be one step ahead of the stupidity, especially as a young and untenured teacher. It's not worth the trouble.

FunSized wrote: But why are teachers expected to go out of their way to avoid rumors about something thats NOT ILLEGAL. Itd be different if this was like about rumors of having kids over at your house implying an inappropriate relationship with a student. But buying alcohol? Thats perfectly legal. Were they not allowed to buy cigarettes either? Maybe I just went to a HS that had real shit to worry about. Like students getting molested. If the worst thing youre doing is a buying a 6pack and not fondling a child then apparently we were okay with that. |

celebtrashwhore wrote:You weren't supposed to buy alcohol in your county. You could buy it out of county. And yes, this is the south. We cannot even buy alcohol on Sundays and a lot of places don't even sell liquor still or allow beverage stores. Parents are idiots and cannot see that trying to help students become better students would help more than shrieking hysterically about "the evils of alcohol" I wish I saved an article-an honest to GOD article-published in one of our papers when a liquor license for our county was up for the vote. It was INSANE. It had a picture of some guy who looked like a crack addict rolling around in the street and then a bunch of bullet points like-If Liquor is allowed in our town *You will see booze crazed maniacs stumbling the streets at all hours of the day *Our children will be at risk both in lives and minds * Church attendance will collapse and God will leave our beloved town And similar asinine accusations. This was published in 2007

You can't buy liquor in the county you teach in?! Wow.
Stuff like this pisses me off because what a teacher does in their personal life - as long as it has no reflection on how they treat children or are responsible to their job - is their own business. |

When you are untenured, especially in an area that already has a specific mindset, you need to behave like a nun. Does it make sense? Of course not. But it's something that you need to consider before going in for the position. |

LOL I wish you had saved that. I guess in my head... driving out of the county is ridiculous. Like thats... nowhere near convenient. Was there only one school in town? |

On a similar note, when I was teaching at a college in a small town, and living there, the college staff wasn't allowed to go to the bar and get a beer in
town because the college kids might see us drinking. This came from the dean. COLLEGE KIDS MIGHT SEE. Seriously.

My sister in law is a high school teacher and she mainly just has the facebook for my nephews pics and videos and stuff but she asked all of us not to really
tag her or anything like that b/c teachers are being looked at critically now too.
When I joined a sorority in college we wither had to have all mention of our sorority taken out- i mean even album names, or we couldn't have drinking pics at all. I went the first route before I was of age and then once i hit 21 it was my senior year and I was thinking about grad schools and jobs so I took any picture of me with booze down...which was a lot let me tell you. |

But I'm on my phone and can't see the vid so maybe that's not quite right. |

I live in a dry county
 It sucks. A lot of the teachers from my high school are on facebook and I've friended them (but I'm no longer a student).
Also my brother is a senior at that same high school and some of them have set up separate facebook accounts just TO add students. They put the homework
assignments as their statuses. Also, as of recently, a lot of them are using Twitter as ways of making sure homework assignments are sent to students cell
phones (as available)

Oh, well if you live in a dry county that's a different story. (And just sucks too.)

That is terrible. I'm sad that she resigned. I hope she gets her job back.
I'm wondering if it was actually a parent. To me it sounds like it may have been another co worker. She said she still hasn't learned the name of the parent and her account was set to private. |

I wondered if she tagged herself and just happened a parent is a friend of a friend saw the pics that way.
