Are teachers allowed to add students on Facebook?

What Joe said is pretty much what I would have said. Teachers usually don't add students because they don't want people thinking something inappropriate is going on or so they don't have students seeing all about their personal lives. But, it's not illegal. Some teachers do add students. I'm friends with 2 of my current teachers and my bus driver on facebook. I think more teachers should add students because its nice when I have a question about class and can just go on Facebook to ask about it. It helps me connect with my teachers more too because I can see that they're real people with lives and families, and not just some authority figure standing in front of the room lecturing me.
