Public education over here has rules against teachers friending students on FB or any other social media. Most private schools do too as far as I'm aware.
The idea is to keep a professional distance between kids and teachers.
On one hand I think that's a good idea, but on the other hand, social media can be really helpful for communication between people.
What I basically think is that unless you actually have a social relationship with a student, as a teacher you really have no right to be a fb friend with your students. I think it's inappropriate.
