It sounds like it could be a bad case of judgment on the part of the teachers. @Monica – I’d hate to offer advice without knowing all the details.

The film was discovered online by my students (easy when movie is titled "Career Day" starring their own media teacher in class:)and most of them find it offensive - but send it around the net like crazy - As a teacher, how should I respond to students or parents regarding the film ?

We are supposed to understand that some teachers are very young, and responsible parents should be protecting their own children. But teachers. . . are the first line of defense for a child who is abused or neglected in at home. I'm supposed to understand that somebody with a crazy Facebook page has got the wisdom and maturity to handle a situation with a (younger!) child that may be very, very serious? We don't need kids standing in the front of the classroom. We need fully functioning grownups there. Here’s what I find interesting.

Yes. The difference is that public employees are MUCH more susceptable to critisism than employess of private firms. If John Doe from Ford decides to post about his night of debauchery, he can only really damage his own career. If John Doe of the XYZ Elementary School does the same (and parents find out about it) then things can get wacky. In either case its not about whether or not you can go out on weekends and have a good time, its about exercising good judgement in communicating about the good time you had. It may be a double standard but public employees (teachers, cops, politicians) are held to a higher standard. I really don't care, for example, if John Doe of Ford passes out drunk on his personal time. But I care a whole lot if Joe Doe (my kid's teacher) does. Finally (and maybe you need to be a parent to understand this), try as you might, you cannot police your kids 24/7. Raise your hand if you did bad things when you were a kid that your otherwise respectible and caring parents didn't know about. You do the best you can and hope that your kids exercise good judgement when your back is turned (knowing full well they will screw up now and again along the way). I might also add that some people complicate things by wanting to introduce social media to our kids in 6th grade (http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2008/01/twitter-in-the-classroom.html). Exactly how do we police that? Are teachers just like everyone else? Yes. The difference is that public employees are MUCH more susceptable to critisism than employess of private firms.
