I’m old school. I’m aware of the challenges teachers have with parents today. Both my son and daughter-in-law are educators and parents are one of their challenges. Being old school I wouldn’t be able to make it as an educator in today’s world. Reward and punishment as a means of influence seems to have been tossed aside. Now parents expect rewards even when its not earned.This post shows you are sadly out of touch with reality in school today. In todays "my kids are the greatest thing ever" helicopter parents don't like it when little Johnny or Sally get called out for misbehaving at all.
Totally. I have very close friends working in High Schools and the stories they tell are crazy. Kids do something terrible and the parents go off on the school admins for stopping them. It's worse with the higher income kids in many cases.I’m old school. I’m aware of the challenges teachers have with parents today.

An employee can easily damage their employers brand and reputation through personal social media postings which can cost relationships with clients and lead to lost revenue, It happened where I work. Employers monitor their employees SM for good reason.I can see where, if a company can prove a direct link to losing revenue or profit due to employee behavior offline would result in a firing or other disciplinary action. Beyond that, I agree, people should have a private life.
Juvenile? When was the last time you were involved in a teenage social media event?
God willing, never!
I'm amazed at the stupid shit people post on Social Media. Employers check that when they make hiring decisions, and yet idiots keep on showing who they really are.An employee can easily damage their employers brand and reputation through personal social media postings which can cost relationships with clients and lead to lost revenue, It happened where I work.

It will be interesting to see how this evolves as well. For instance, people who are fired for writing something on their social-media accounts when they are not at work. Should they be able to be terminated for that?
Fundamentally, I think that "social media" has cost us a lot in terms of privacy and protection. And I've long thought that people writing stupid shit on their social media who are fired shouldn't be getting fired for that. They have the right to run their mouths about shit. And if they aren't doing it on company time or company equipment, then it's fine. Assuming, of course, that they aren't posting about committing crimes and stuff like that. However, it's also true that those companies can feel backlash from consumers over it and then it does impact their profits.
Still, I'm not sure that's really enough to give the workplace such large dominance over our private life. But in the end, social media does suck all the ass and is mostly just horrible and useless.
Please give examples of what you deem "stupid shit people" post to social media.

In at-will states, can't you be fired for anything?It needs to be raised, because some of this crap is just getting too much. I don't care if some douche goes on a tirade in public or says stupid stuff (again, assuming that this is not in the commission of crimes and such). And for the most part, people should be free to do so. Social media has really changed the landscape, and I'm of the opinion that it hasn't been changed for the better.
I think that companies do need to be restricted, somewhat (probably not completely), from retaliating against employees that do stupid shit on their personal time.
Seriously?Please give examples of what you deem "stupid shit people" post to social media.
How so? Your responses thus far are only 'attacks' with no substance.I'd have to divulge personal information, and I know better not to do so in a viper's den like online forums but at any rate, your sophomoric assumptions are exactly that, sophomoric assumptions.

Same answer. You've called me sophomoric, but you haven't said why. Do you understand the meaning of sophomoric, or just like the way it looks in your post?Nobody compels you to participate in this thread if the topic remains too painful for you to discuss without the stupid ad hominem fails.
