I wouldn’t Facebook friend my patients.. ever... (except my actual friends that I treat). I can just imagine the Karening. “Oh the dentist had a glass of wine with dinner! I bet she comes to work drunk every day... Better get on the Yelp!” I’d rather die. 🙄 Yeah, We own our trucking company, I don't tag my driver husband in any of my photos I take involving booze.

My grandsons’ school has a Facebook page which I follow. It has lots of school events etc on it & it helps me stay in touch with what’s happening. (They posted a goodbye video for the Grade 8s (Zach’s class) because they didn’t have the grade 8 farewell ceremony they usually have due to COVID. They also oared a video of the teachers leaving & the new ones coming to the school. I’m not Facebook friends with any of the teachers at that school.
I don’t post much on Facebook. I don’t put pictures of my kids or grandkids on there (unless it’s something really special like a grad or an award, but probably not even then). Most of my Facebook posts are on private groups. Even then, I don’t post anything g that might come back to haunt me or my family.
I don’t care what teachers do in their free time. (As long as it’s not illegal). I don’t think it’s any of my business. If I had a medically fragile dependant, I might be more concerned but I would just not allow my dependant to interact with them if they weren’t following the COVID guidelines.

Well, I'm not sure what the medical position is on using beer to flush out your kidneys when you have a kidney infection and think that part is bunk, but this whole mess could have been avoided if she'd poured the beer into a coffee mug before the meeting.

Drinking at a board meeting. No alcoholism there, I'm sure.
One of Roxy's teachers (her classroom has 4) friended me on facebook. We belong to the same community watch fb page, so our paths were crossing already.

I think it behooves anyone with any sort of a public role to be smart in their online persona. Or lock that shit down! It’s not hard. The beer lady clearly has a drinking problem, and she’s dumb.
In the scenario of the OP, it’s not my place to say anything to the teacher, but it would absolutely be a factor in my decisions for my child. And I wouldn’t be shy in telling the school that.
As for my own life, I was Facebook friends with a lot of teachers and support staff at my kid’s schools, because they were also my coworkers. And the parents of kids I coached, and people I played sports with, and the parents of my daughter’s friends... We lived in a smaller community and my daughter was in French Immersion with a bunch of teacher’s kids. Our lives intersected in many ways, not just as teacher/parent.
That said, I can’t remember any of them posting anything that might have gotten them in trouble. It was the early days of social media, though.
