  Case: Parent Facebook Friend?
After you return from a class field trip, a parent who was a chaperon approaches you and comments how much they enjoyed the field trip. At the end of the conversation they ask you to "friend" them on Facebook. You explain to them that it is unprofessional to be Facebook friends with a parent of a student. The parent shrugs off the comment. The following day they approach you about why you have yet to "friend" them on Facebook. How do you deal with the situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would let her know that Facebook is a social site that is use for networking with friends. Due to the fact that I am a teacher it is not appropriate to friend students or their parents.
