Should your children be allowed to interact with their teachers through social networking web sites such as Facebook and MySpace?
A new policy is being considered by the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education in North Carolina on Tuesday, Dec. 2. This policy strongly recommends that school-system employees not communicate with students through such sites.
The policy also strongly recommends that employees not list students as "friends" on their personal pages unless the student is a relative and warns that any communication between employees and students should be appropriate.
Some teachers say they see social networking as helpful for creating connections with struggling students who might be afraid to speak up in class or in person.
So what do you think? Is there harm in students connecting with their teachers online? Should there be guildelines?
