Yes.

There are jobs and there are professions.

A teacher is a professional and should be held to that standard of conduct.

I wonder how long we have before we say the same about accountants, janitors, analysts and fry cooks.

I don't think what this woman did should go without consequence, but I also find employers to be so damn intrusive these days.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

I would disagree that the employer here was intrusive when this woman plastered her iniquities all over social media. SOmeone who objected saw it and reported it to the authorities.

What he have here is not the school district's intrusiveness but the teacher's studpidity.

That said, any potential contract that asks for my social media passwords will be promptly told to stick it where the sun does not shine.

Ax, I agree with you 100% that these things are the responsibility of the parents.
Unfortunately, every single parent who ships their children off to school every day while both parents work have agreed to share this responsibility (as is their right to do) with a stranger at the public school. Their children go there for physical stimulation, mental stimulation, conduct control, behavior modification, two meals - you see my point, it's hardly fair to say that you *only* expect teachers to teach.
They do a whole lot more.
I think that's more narrative than reality.

They'll keep kids from breaking well-understood rules of behavior. That's about the extent of the reality of what teachers actually do, beyond teaching.

Of course, they can be better or worse at teaching, or making their subject interesting, and that's important.

But, we all did go through school. I do wonder why people buy the teacher-as-shaper-of-souls-and-surrogate-parent narrative. It's not reality but for a tiny subset of us.

Height, weight, education, marital status are all legal characteristics that an employer has every right to use to discriminate.

so i work faithfully for a company for say 10 years, am a hard worker, the bosses love me and i do a great job then my husband goes thru male menopause and decides he wants a 20yr old big boobed blonde bimbo...accordingly the company is allowed to fire me because i have a mongrel for a husband?

sounds very much like control issues and slightly communistic in its approach, this would be an American company or owned by another country?

The fact that I remember so much about my best teachers, and can't remember much about the rest is evidence of that.

I so agree with that, and it was certainly not my daughter's experience.

Do you want to make the deal or not?

If not walk away.

If you want it then make the commitment and take the responsibility.

I'm sure most teachers have stories about needing to go an extra mile for a student here and there out of the thousands they teach.

I'm just dubious about how many students have such stories.

I don't. And to my knowledge nobody I grew up with and went to school with did.
