‘Stacy Snyder, a trainee teacher in Pennsylvania, had passed all her exams and completed her training with an unblemished academic record until she uploaded an image of herself, wearing a pirate costume and drinking from a cup with the caption: “drunken pirate”.
A colleague saw the picture and reported it, saying that it was unprofessional to potentially expose pupils to photographs of a teacher drinking alcohol.’ source
This is screwed on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start…….the person who complained would perhaps be better employed addressing the question of why so many teachers have been suspended for sexual misconduct with pupils. They number in the thousands.
Next to that fact, a cup with “drunken pirate” written on it looks a little…um..trivial.
