Teachers warned over Facebook and Twitter use
Jim Docherty, assistant secretary of the SSTA, told BBC Scotland that teachers should follow his advice: “First thing is don’t bother telling anybody else about your social life. Nobody is interested about your social life and it doesn’t help.
“Secondly, never make any comment about your work, about your employer, about teaching issues in general.
“There is always a possibility it will be misinterpreted.”
(Emphasis mine)
Apparently Jim Docherty, assistant secretary of the SSTA and chief tosspot, is unfamiliar with the European Convention on Human Rights and its enactment in the Human Rights Act 1998.
