Who's Googling you?

I wasn't able to find myself online after doing a google search. I have searched for myself before and have found stuff but not this time. The other times I have found myself it had to do with coaching or when i was an insurance agent. I don't really follow my social networking site anymore. When I was looking for jobs after graduating from college I did take down some photos of myself that had alcohol in them. I took the pictures down because I had heard employers were checking social networking sites of applicants and didn't want those pictures to be a deterrent to possible employers. I'm glad I took those pictures down especially now that I'm trying to become a teacher.
I do think teachers should be held to community standards in terms of their personal lives. Teachers are public figures and they are influencing students. Not all careers are held to the same standards. People often compare what professional athletes do in their personal life (getting in trouble) to their own career. Most times saying if I did what the athlete did I would lose my job or my license. While that may be true, there are different standards for different jobs. If a client found out something they didn't like about a salesmen they go through for business, there is a good chance he would lose their business. Every career has different standards and with teachers being public figures they fall under more scrutiny for what goes on in their personal lives.
The most interesting part of the article for me was when the perspective teacher from Pennsylvania was denied her teaching license because she portrayed herself as "a drunken pirate". It just shows how the field of education is not messing around when it comes to teachers activites away from school and how those activities can become public knowledge. Whether they were right or wrong for denying her license it just goes to show that teachers need to protect themselves from having that happen to them.
I hope to protect myself by thinking about what I do and say publicly and privately. If my supervisor new what I was doing or saying could I get fired? If thats a yes than I should probably not do it.
