@choogirl thank you so much for your comment!
It is pretty amazing the response I’ve gotten from them. Some have told me they may start their own bookstagram account, or an account for another hobby they love. I try to tell them to chat with their parents about it, but I think social media can be a really positive place to meet like-minded people. You just have to know how!
I know this level of sharing isn’t for every teacher, but I really love it.
It’s certainly better than them being horrified to see their teacher in public and pretending you don’t exist.
Thanks again!
