THINK BEFORE POSTING
- For better or worse, you're broadcasting yourself to the world

- Professionals can lose their jobs over offensive posts

"A HARMLESS JOKE"
- Akron, Ohio middle school math teacher Melissa Cairns learned the hard way
- Posted a picture on Facebook of her students with duct tape covering their mouths
- The caption read "Finally found a way to keep them quite!"
- Claimed students were not asked to put tape on their mouths
Untitled Slide
- Insisted students ability to joke with her helped them learn
- When not teaching, she speaks out against domestic violence
- Organizes marathon race "On My Own Two Feet" which benefits women's shelters
- She dismissed all claims of "harming" the students with the tape
SHE STILL GOT FIRED
"SHOWED A LACK OF GOOD JUDGEMENT, HER CONDUCT WAS UNBECOMING OF A TEACHER"
