Your FaceBook or MySpace Profile Could Cost You Your Job {Switched.com}

Nov 19th 2007 10:13AM What about those that work in a position, like a teacher, that is constantly under scrutiny? If items are being posted to facebook/myspace that are not appropriate and their students could see, shouldn't that teacher be reprimanded if not fired? Especially with new stories of teacher/student outside relationships...

As a teacher in a private school, I see many of my students and their parents outside of the school grounds and I have to constantly be aware of the possibility of running into them. I also know that if something were to get posted that was not appropriate I would run the risk of losing my job for not representing the school.

Why not just get rid of the facebook or myspace account? Then you don't run the risk of being caught while being stupid. Find something else to do--maybe call those friends instead of posting new photos and stories.
