New Laws To Keep Teachers From Friending Students On Facebook?

By Mark Lorenz on August 4th, 2011

We should probably be using resources for more important things. Like constructing robots who can over-throw servers, thereby depriving America of its main industry.

The people making laws want to make it much much harder for you go be pretend friends with your students — there’s talk of a ban on Facebook interactions between students and teachers. Where do you draw the line? You can be friends with a teacher. Teachers are people. One thing that you shouldn’t do is Facebook stalk your teacher so you can stare at pictures of breasts. That is wrong. Especially if your teacher is a man — some people enjoy those type of shenanigans, but just because your science teacher enjoyed gorging himself on donuts…don’t ogle his man-tits. You don’t need to proceed that way.

But some schools look like they’re going to be implementing the policy that teachers and pupils will no longer enjoy the times of awkwardly friend requesting each other.

I enjoy knowing the people who have steered and impacted my life in tiny ways are wasting time in the same way that I am — it levels you out. Boo to this. It helps to page through their photos, see their awkward weddings and excursions seeing — it saves time hearing about it in class.
