High School Facebook Protocol

Can I ask a strange question? How would you feel if it had been a classmate who posted this picture?

Maybe I was a horribly corrupted youth, but by high school... I had seen far worse than this. I knew kids who had done worse than this in the offstage wings of the theatre. My friends and I would have thought this picture was funny, not shocking or inappropriate.

I'm not saying that the teacher posting the picture is okay, because I do feel there should be a certain line of respect between teenagers and any adult, including their teachers. But I don't think the picture itself is that out of line for a high school student to see, if that makes sense.

Oh I don't give a shit about the picture per se. I'm a bad parent that way. It's more that this person clearly doesn't have a clue re appropriateness. This group is held to a high level of responsibility. They are supposed to exhibit exemplarary behaviour at all times, even when not representing the school or at school. If they had posted this link, there would have been trouble.

I like a good wiener joke as much as the next person, bonus points if it includes a republican candidate. But, speaking as an educator, of college students even - I would not have ever posted this to share with my students.

"Friending" students has had some pretty bad results for another professor I work with. I think it's a recipe for disaster.
