no... actually it is a legitimate question on the basis of policy if i live in your school district and my taxes are being used to fund a teachers salary irrespective if whether i have a student in that class or NOT, i would have a compelling interest in how my money is being spent now... i am not saying full and unfettered inet for teachers during classroom hours is necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time, yes, i would be concerned (as i am as an employer/tax payer) if my employee is abusing that privilege so yes... if you, as a teacher, are using your privilege at taxpayer expense, to post online messages to individuals about your personal interests (whatever they may be) that would give me pause, as a parent, taxpayer, and citizen now we can debate that point, (and i am more than happy to do that with you) but you have not even as of yet stipulated that you have online access during 'teaching' hours so i do not want to draw any false conclusion based upon your posting behavior, rather i would be more interested in your clarifying how you are able to post during school hours.. it's really a simple yes or no question are you allowed to have unfettered inet access during school hours or not? that obviously needs to be established before i (or anyone) would make any 'value' judgement on the practice
