Check, Check, Check, Check, aaaand… Check.
There’s an interesting article in April’s School Library Journal listing the do’s and don’ts of blogging about your job. And by “interesting,” I mean that I looked at the list and said “yup, did that…yup, did that…yup, did that too…shit!”
Now, granted, I never painted with my ass and posted videos of it on YouTube where my students could find it. (How they recognized their teacher by viewing his ass is something I’d rather not contemplate.) And I’ve never referred to students as “drugged out idiots” in my blog. (Nor would I ever do so, because they’re great kids, and because of what they’ve dealt with in their short lives, generally a hell of a lot stronger than most adults.) But, at one time or another, I’ve violated every single one of these:
Five Reasons Not to Blog1. “I want to give them a piece of my mind!”
2. “Oh, the stories I could tell.”
3. “I think I can find some time at school…”
4. “Nobody will find out that it’s me.”
5. “It’s OK, I will keep it private.”
So come on, ‘fess up. How many of these have y’all broken? I won’t tell anybody. Honest.
