Huffington Post- A high school principal is facing harsh criticism after a revealing picture found on her Facebook page surfaced. The photo showed Sharron Smalls, of New York’s Jane Addams High School, next to a topless man as he pours a dark liquid substance over her. Students passed a copy of the photo around school last week. Smalls is already under fire for allegations of credit padding. A New York City Department of Education probe is looking into whether she gave students credits for classes they didn’t take. “They put me in cosmetology because we don’t have chemistry,” 16-year-old senior Clarissa Williams told The New York Times. The scandal has outraged students, many of whom may not graduate due to lack of credits. Jane Addams High School received an F grade from the city and is in danger of being shut down.
First things first; how are students in danger of not graduating due to lack of credits if Principal Smalls over here is handing out credits that were not, in fact, earned? Riddle me that.
Moving on…Growing up and going through school, nobody thinks that their teachers and principals have a wild side. As far as we’re all concerned, they stay at the school until 10pm grading papers, coming up with more ways to make our lives miserable, and what not.
This, however, is not the case and is reason #2357 why educators should not have Facebook. Not all of their friends are teachers, and have jobs that require impeccable behavior at all times. There’s always that blogger friend who is going to post pictures from Saturday night of Kelsey jumping on the pole at the club, and Jason getting paddled on the bar, or in Sharron Smalls’ case, having chocolate syrup poured on her by a buff, half-naked man.
Come on, Sharron. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, girl. At least make that stuff private, and yourself unsearchable on Facebook. What is she new at this?
Rule #2 of Facebooking is to hide all activity that makes you not hire-able or fire-able. (Rule #1 is to post anything and everything that makes you look sexy and like a good time, obviously).
