Hey Class,
For this week’s post I went with “”Crunk Bear” teacher out of a job after tweeting near-nude photos” Topic. In this post the teacher basically posted a near nude photo and claimed that she smoked in the school grounds which lead her into losing her job. Cherry Creek School District relieved her of her position when they found out this had happened.
Now is this appropriate for students to see even if it’s not during work hours? Yes, I believe this would be a little risky to have a teacher being high teaching students. As for the near nude photos as a teacher your responsibility is to be professional. Many parents would not be accepting of this type of behavior from the teacher that is teaching their kids. However, I believe that the teacher was being autonomy while posting her videos on the web. I’m pretty sure she believed that no one would have seen them and she was just expressing who she wanted to be in social media. It’s not wrong to be posting things like this but when your job requires some type of professionalism it wouldn’t be acceptable in parents’ eyes to be posting content like that. If I was the school board, I would’ve also have fired her because this can come back onto the school. The parents would most likely have comments like “How does the school allow this?” “This school is unprofessional” The ratings for the school would just tank no matter what.

The case I chose discussed a situation where an accountant was finally going to have her big break at her job. This new client would land her the promotion and raise she needed and wanted and would provide the office clout she desired as well. The employee was well aware that during the closing period of a new deal, nothing is to be posted to social media regarding the client and or account. The employee emphasized several times that her office had sent out emails even reminding them to not post on social media. Despite all the red flags, the employee decided to still post on Instagram. The post she decided to publish was one that had the client’s logo in it, and within 3 hours she had been fired from her position for violating a rule put forward. Morally, she was more than aware she was wrong. She stated that the company did what was right, and that what she did was vain and showed very little forward-thinking. In this moment, I believe the employee felt autonomy. The employee felt as though she had control over her work life and could post whatever she pleased to her instagram account. If I were in this situation, I would not have posted anything. Jeopardizing hard work is more heart breaking that failing at something. Being so close you can grab your goal just to lose it all at the hands of your own mistakes is something I would not like to feel nor participate in. If ethics were applied, a picture would have been taken, but it would not have been posted until clearance was given to do so. I would have done this because it is morally right. Going behind my employer’s back would be wrong to do.

Hello, Class!
I chose the topic “”Crunk Bear” teacher fired after tweeting near-nude images” for this week’s post. In this post, the instructor essentially shared a near-naked photo and claimed that she smoked on school grounds, resulting in her dismissal. When the Cherry Creek School District discovered what had happened, they fired her.
Now is this appropriate for students to see even if it’s not during work hours? Yes, I believe this would be a little risky to have a teacher being high
