Can teachers really lose their jobs if they add you facebook?

[Ta da(:]

No, not true

[whisperingHunter544]

No.

[eagerfaucet765]

No, the teachers that got fired for being on facebook got fired because they were PRETENDING to be students from school to spy on other students.
As long as the teachers are on FB as themselves, they cannot get fired.

It depends on what school it is

[Arrogantcoach169]

NO

[hissingmother879]

They can actually. I guess thats getting too close to students. You might wanna un-add those teachers

[punyWatcher512]

I never heard that before. I guess if the school had that rule that no teachers could do social stuff with the kids then ya if the broke the rule. That seems kind of crazy though. Some of my teachers are really nice.

I think it depends on the school district, but I don't really think it's true for most schools.

I honestly am not really sure.
It's touchy....
On the one hand, like another answer said, it can help you if you've got a problem that you can't really tell your teacher about in class, you can just IM them or something on Facebook.

On the other hand, it can open up a world of controversy with un-monitored student/teacher contact.

I've got a few of my old teachers on Facebook and a few of my instructors from the college I spent my first year at.

Just be really careful of what you post and what you talk about!!

Yes and one at my school actually was fired.
