  Case: Social Media
Many of Mr. Smith's high school students have been adding her on Facebook, although she has not responded to any of the requests. She made a class announcement that she will not accept any friend requests until they graduate and are no longer at the school, is this appropriate?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Yes, I think this is very appropriate and the best solution in this case. It is definitely not ok to be friends with or interact with students on social media as a teacher, no matter what their age. This could result in possible legal issues, such as a loss of a job, or worse.

Comments: If I were in this teacher's position, I would have the same outlook of not accepting friend requests on social media. It is the appropriate decision to not interact with their students on social media.
