[Offtopic] Facebook and staff productivity

[Roland Gesthuizen]

G'day Jim

During lunchtime I play cards (educational versions of course) with
the students, share an ice slurpy from the canteen (healthy fruity
version of course) and have a social, non-educational banter about
what they did over the weekend or how they are going.

If some staff or students politely ask if they can check their
personal e-mail, I generally wave them over to a nearby computer. If I
have any doubts about staff online behavior, a reminder that this is a
G-Rated school is generally sufficient. Students get the evil eye.

Regards Roland
