I was going to try to post under the "myspace" section of Wikipedia but it has a block over the editing part. I went under teachers and found a "misconduct" section which I am going to try to post there.
Teachers owning a Myspace website can also be considered misconduct. Although their page may be set to private, school officials such as the Ohio Education Association, (http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/?i=50557;_hbguid=49a1babb-b469-4a85-a273-292a0514d91d) have warned that they should watch what they post online. “OEA advises members not to join [these sites], and for existing users to complete the steps involved in removing their profiles." Teachers are warned that the consequences outweigh the benefits of having this site.
Teachers have been resulting in license revocations, suspensions, and written reprimonds for having what officials consider "inappropriate" material posted on their site. John Bush, a 52 year old physical education teacher, was fired for having an "inappropriate" photograph, not pornographic, on his webpage. (http://www.news4jax.com) The meaning of "inappropriate" is up to the discretion of the school board.
Stacy Snyder, from Millersville University of Pennsylvania, was denied a teaching degree due to an "unprofessional" picture posted on her site. The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that on April 27, 2007, "A Myspace Photo Costs a Student a Teaching Certificate." Her photo consisted of a picture of her drinking from a red, plastic Solo cup with a pirates hat on with the caption "Drunken Pirate." Due to this, she was only given a degree in English.
