When educators critique their school or institutions-& for #BCEd public #k12 can extend to comment on entire public system—even if the critique is merited—they open themselves up to legally supported discipline & possible termination. Higher exposure statements incl more risk.
This legal situation extends to #postsecondary. Members of the public who call out educators for ‘not saying or doing more’ to protect students & schools vs #COVID19 need to be mindful of this risk to their employment —which some could weather far better than others.
And for those educators in #k12 or #postsecondary who have the privilege of power or position or income to respectfully challenge a school/institution/system policy, procedure, IMO they really need to reflect on stepping up to “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves”
Being mindful they could still face similar risks of discipline or termination themselves. As I say in my #digitalprofessionalism lessons for my #teachered students undergrad & grad—sometimes we need to step-up/out but have to be deliberate & mindful of risks when we do.
