I guess I would respond to this criticism by saying that I respond to my student
friends on FB in a different manner than I do with my adult friends. I don't send
virtual gifts, join teen groups, etc. I keep all of my personal messages between me
and the recipient of the message rather than posted on a wall. I don't see this
type of behavior as "hanging out with kids." I actually don't see it as being that
much different than having a forum for my book club kids or a blog on my web site.

Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student. Everyone
is a teacher.
