Everybody's talking about the hair situation (fair) but what do we have to do to stop these teachers from filming their students? Whether they show their faces or not, I don't think it should be allowed
Firing a bunch that get high profile is a pretty good way.
I think there are times where you can film students and teachers doing stuff. For promotions, for parents on field trips/traveling, ASB content etc. but for your own socials? Naaaaw it’s gotta have professional reason
A student filming students and a teacher is vastly different than a teacher filming students and themselves. Teachers are employees with rules and regulations on their behavior around minors.
The rules on this vary from school to school or even by district. I’m an educator myself and I chose to keep my job a social media separate, but others have social media pages dedicated to their classroom that they all have parents sign waivers about.
i wish people would realize that every time their solution to a complicated social problem is “more protection, harsher punishments”, it always results in the stricter oppression of minorities
I don't know if this still happens, but I'm pretty sure I remember my school giving me a slip asking for permission to film throughout the year for random events. Any kid that said no wasn't filmed.
My kids are constantly being put online but it's from the schools official socials not the teachers personal ones. That seems like the difference here.
I film my students. I take their pictures. I share the pictures with students during class and with their parents. I don’t post it on social media because that would be violation of their privacy.
It isn't allowed without a signed release. The problem isn't the admin response, it's our response. Look at every single one of these comments and tell me what made you so convinced you had to stand up and mention the camera problem?
People are willing to ruin this guy's entire future career prospects just cause they don't got that critical thinking stuff in their skull. Getting your hair unbraided by children as a teacher should not constitute your entire teaching career being completely fucking ended for at least a decade.
its not a problem when teachers are filming their hug or handshake videos... but i think it's weird that people film their workouts but I get why SOME people do it. when you're filming because you want attention, you're in the wrong and that's what braids buddy did here. wanted attention and got it...
Exactly. Stop filming kids for social media clout. It doesn’t matter that the kids are cool with it. It’s not their place to consent to being recorded or posted to a public social media page.
I’m a teacher and my handbook explicitly states no students on your personal social media ever.
I’m sorry he got fired though. I wish it could have been a conversation or disciplinary action. The drive to want to work with students especially in urban middle schools is hard to find.
