She accepts all social media requests from parents and students. She posts regularly about her social activities with friends outside of school and sometimes posts pictures with students in class during class activities for her friends to see. Mrs. Ford, one of the more experienced teachers advised her to be careful with her post, but Ms. Ellies didn't listen. Concerned for her behavior Mrs. Ford wants to take action without hurting Ms. Ellies, as she is new and very enthusiastic teacher who engages students in their learning. What could Mrs. Ford do in this case? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As long as their are no rules set by the school or county about accepting students and parents on social media I do not think she can take any approach other than sitting down with her and having a discussion about how it can be inappropriate that students can see what she is doing outside school with friends and that she can do what they are doing. It also opens doors that cannot be closed again.
