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 keep my Facebook profile set to private so that nobody could see it. Facebook is full of personal information, and a teacher needs to be careful as to what he puts out for public view. The teacher becomes the face of the school/district/state, so there can be no possible cause for confusing your personal views for those of the school. |
