What do you think about the whole situation?





You can google it and there are a ton of links, but here's one: distractify.com/news/2016/03/03/slut-shamed-teacher?utm_content=inf_10_53_2&tse_id=INF_f6c47d001df84ef2989d4c896e38f5d0





Basically, a student stole a teacher's phone. He went through her pictures, found a "sexy" (I'm not sure if it was nude or not) selfie she had sent to her husband and posted the picture on social media. The school forced her to resign. The student is not being punished at all. The school said it was her fault for not properly supervising the students.

I get that some teachers need to have their phones accessible, especially when with students and not in the room (recess, specials, etc). I walk my students to art down the street once a week and I always have my phone out for the trip. Honestly, I have a password on my phone so I'm not really sure why she wouldn't.

But regardless, teachers are people. You shouldn't get fired because a student stole something from your personal life and spread it around the school.

a) she should have had a password on her phone

b) she should not have been fired over this

c) the student should have been punished for stealing and posting her images

I wonder if she did and maybe he just got lucky and guessed it? That would be a crazy coincidence, though.

This poor woman! I can't believe the kid didn't get in trouble. It makes me terribly glad that I have a strong Union because this would never be ok with them.

No way. That kid needs to be disciplined and the teacher avoid never have been fired. This situation is totally ridiculous!

Exactly. It's not like she took the photos at school or sent them to the students. It's something she (presumably) did in her off time. Teachers should be allowed to have private lives and they shouldn't be disciplined at work for doing something that in no way impacts their ability to do their job.

Yeah I remember being told that teachers are held to a higher moral standard and warned about things like drinking in the town where I worked in case parents were also there, but that is not something she ever intended to be public, and it was her husband ffs.
