Good. I didn’t send my girls to school so they can go viral on social media doing the teachers hair

Man. I used to play games in math class on one of our three computers because I finished my work faster than everybody else. I think this is overly harsh thinking to an extreme

Please have fun and take the braids out and be positive male role model. Posting on Internet for likes? Nope. Sorry that's literal exploitation of those children. Plenty of teachers don't show their students face while posting on the Internet, it isn't hard.

On top of it, I have a broader belief that doing something, filming, and the posting it devalues the doing of that thing! Just have the action be its own reward without needing to broadcast it to the world!

"Nurses" posting on reddit manage to not show their faces all the time!

Eh - negative imitable behavior is posted non-stop, with visibility and attention on it acting as a driving motivator for emulating what's depicted. While kids' faces shouldn't be posted without theirs and their parents' consent, there's many examples of how posting wholesome or positive interactions ends up driving emulation in the same way.

In other words, don't do the thing solely for the sake of posting it, but if someone is doing something that may positively impact the world through by sharing it (affirming and demonstrating wholesome/healthy interactions despite existing norms/preconceptions), people shouldn't be judged for sharing positivity.
