Hello everybody,
For my first blog concerning the assignment for the English course, I have found an article about Stacy Snyder, a student teacher at Conestoga Valley High School in Pennysylvania, who has been denied a teaching degree. The reason for this denial is that she had published some pictures on her MySpace of her being drunk and disguised as a pirate. They called Snyder at home immediatly. During her stay at Millersville University Stacy hasn't been an example of professionalism as testified by her performance reviews. To make things worse there were also some posts of her complaining about her relationship with a supervisor. Stacy took her former school to court but her claims were promptly dismissed by Judge Paul Diamond of the District Court. Although he allowed her to press the argument that the denial had violated her First Amendment right to free expression. However that claim has now been tossed as well. Stacy Snyder won't be teaching kids for a while. The lesson learnt after this story is that we have to be careful with content we post on the internet. We may have the impression we're allowed to do everything on the net but this could slap right into our face.

I agree with Steven, people post every picture and every video they have on the internet these days. They don't think of the consequences those pictures have. Some people have been fired because they posted inappropriate pictures of themselve on the internet. So it's better to think twice before you post something on the internet, and not every picture should be posted on the internet, because they might give a wrong view of who you really are. So be careful with wath you post on the internet, it might have consequences.

I agree to you can't put every picture to the internet. You have to think about the consequences before you do something. But denying a teachers degree is harsh! Because she is after all a student.
