I have two family members and one friend who are school teachers.
All use fake names[0] on Facebook because they don't want to be harrassed by parents or students online. Apparently, it is very common (both the harassment and teachers using aliases)
[0] Usually a real first name with an altered/shortened surname
- larrywright 10y agoI see this a lot as well, and it's always real first name + middle name.

- curiousgal 10y agoWell in fairness Facebook doesn't allow for much harassment. Messages from people outside your friendlist get routed to an other inbox and you can stop people from adding you or even finding you via searches, Not to mention blocking. So yeah, in the extent of stating safe from harassment using a pseudoname is overboard.
- nikcub 10y agoIt's not just harrasement in that sense, but also that you don't want to be bothered. With some parents, if they find you have a Facebook profile, they'll expect to be added. Once you are added, they'll expect you respond to private messages, etc. I've heard some horror stories about helicopter parents and how they deal with teachers online
- kagamine 10y agoWhen my children started nursery and later school the parents were told by the staff that they will not friend you, if the FB account is in their name then consider it a private/personal account. If you want to contact the school look for fooSchool on facebook or similar. Once it has been made clear at the start of the year then staff need only reiterate if a parent forgets.
