Personally I have a problem with this
 
SInce when are teachers there friends 
Teachers are adults anbd role models.
 
Also ifi the studenets are not old enough to have pages why in the world would any 
adult who is supposed to be teaching students the right way to do things engage in 
something that they should not be doing.
Just because a parent created a page for them doesn't make it right
There are parents who go oiut and buy alcohol for their kids -
We are suppose to set the example on what is right and wrong and to abide by the 
rules.
 
it is bad enough that parents teach their students to break the rules - why in the 
world would their teachers --  Do you break the rules with kids at school that you 
think aren't quite right or if the parent says my child doesn't have to obey a 
particular rule do you support that? 
 
My head just hurts when I read things like this --
We wonder why we can't control children and they break the rules -- 
Here is another fine example of why
 
Something else that just adds to the notion of why have any rules

I have a couple of students who are "my friend" on Facebook (I'm
at a K-5
school).  A number of educators and administrators in my district are also
on Facebook & I'm careful to keep my Facebook postings " I only
post things
I wouldn't mind a 5th grader knowing! I consider Facebook to be the most
public of all the social networking sites so I'd never post something
clean".  along the lines of "Guusje has a hangover".  When it
comes to
Facebook that's definitely TMI.  I do have some other friends who stray
into
TMI and I have them set so that their feeds doesn't show up on my homepage.


I know that under the age of 13 kids aren't supposed to have Facebook /
MySpace pages but many of my students do.  When I ask they tell me their
parents uncles /aunts set it up for them.  Many of the children at my school
have very young parents and equally young uncles and aunts.  It's not
uncommon for a 10 year old to have a mother who is only 26 & for the 10
year
old to already have nephews and nieces.
