The title of this article is, “Teacher Defends Insulting Blog Posts About Her Students: ‘I Hear the Trash Company is Hiring.’ The authors of this article are Andrea Canning and Olivia Katrandijan. This article is about a teacher who created a blog and on it, talked badly about her students. Her boss eventually found the blog after a year and she was fired. The teacher believes she did not do anything wrong. She says she was simply writing what she thought.
I agree that what the teacher did was wrong. Although she does have the freedom of speech, it does not give her the right to talk badly about others. I have a Twitter account and all of the time I see people I follow tweeting negatively about others. I do not understand why they feel the need to go out of their way to say something that could be very hurtful to someone else. More people should follow the rule, “If you don’t have anything nice to say…don’t say it."
In the future, I will pay even extra attention to what I am putting on the internet to make sure I am not hurting anyone else' feelings. I will make sure I am not posting anything that could jeopardize me now or in the future. Reading that article reminded me that not just my followers or friends look at what I post, but teachers, parents, coaches and many other people look at what I post as well. This article can help to prepare me for the work place so when I do have a job, it will help me to know that there are boundaries to what I share on social networks. If I cross one of those boundaries it could cost me my job.
