i was thinking the same thing. i also agree with UGA. when i first read this i wasn't sure what was the issue. but as i was reading further, i get wanting to make sure that things are done fairly. however, because teachers are held to such high moral and ethical standards, what communications you send, how you send it, what you say, how you say it, and from what email account has a great impact on you as an educator.
the fact is even though you were at home on your computer, you were still conducting school business. depending on what you said and how it was relayed and how the person received it could impact you negatively. is it silly, perhaps, but i have seen and heard people getting bent out of shape over seemingly little things and it escalates into a big brouhaha. i think that your mom was trying to caution you. she may seem overzealous but im sure she has experienced so many things--things she hope you will never have to encounter.
personally, with all that teachers do, it is such a shame that you have to be mindful about every little aspect of your lives. you are expected to be miracle workers in the classroom and perform miracles with the little bit of pay you do receive. sorry i digressed here.....
