There has to be more to the story than this. It’s not believable that the students would be suspended if this just popped up. They must have been in a directory they shouldn’t have been in or something.
You’ve obviously never worked in a school and apparently didn’t read the article either. The teacher SYNCED her iPhone with the school supplied iPads, probably not intentionally, and had the topless photo of herself on her iPhone. The discipline action is entirely believable given most schools “zero tolerance” policy on so many things. So also is the administration trying to protect the teacher. Let’s just say todays public schools aren’t exactly staffed with the best and the brightest.
Oh, they probably snickered and shared. But, still.
They either enabled photo streaming from iCloud to the teacher's account, or accessed a photo library. In the latter case, teacher's fault for having it there. In the former case, if it's so easy for them to go to settings and enable photo streaming, then it's the teacher's fault for leaving her iCloud account tied to the iPad. Unless the kids hacked her iCloud account password to set up the photo streaming. Not likely. I would fault the teacher for not disabling her iCloud account connection to the iPad before allowing others to have access to it.
Sounds like they were fiddling with their teacher's iPad, allegedly to play a game on it, and came across a collection of her "personal" pics. So they were punished for touching the teacher's iPad, but were really expelled for embarrassing a union member.
As I told my teenage son years ago, the first time you looked, it’s an accident. The next seven times you looked.......
Would that be like being in the wrong aisle at the Library ?
