Missouri Outlaws Student-Teacher Facebook Friendship
i am wondering if the following article about a new new law in missouri is sign of a trend in the us or an exception? it also seems that in the law, the lawmakers in missouri have introduced types of communication that will be allowed and others that will not be, which is based on conceptions of what is public and private. in any case, its implications at first sight seem quite grave. it also raises questions about how the law will be enforced? s. Missouri Outlaws Student-Teacher Facebook Friendship A law signed into law last month in Missouri is making waves nationally, this week. A small part of the wide-ranging SB54, makes it illegal for teachers to be "friends" with students on any social networking site that allows private communication. That means teachers and students can't be friends on Facebook or can't follow each other on Twitter for example. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/08/03/138932276/missouri-outlaws-st...
What I'm also wondering is how this will influence the teaching process. If, say, I teach some sort of new media/online journalism class, how can I connect with students without using the tools that I teach to them in class? How can I share useful links? I realize this is more on a college/university level, but still. It is also interesting, and I'm with Seda here, how they will enforce the law? Check everyone's friendslists? Seriously? How can the lawmakers control such a huge number of online accounts? Or do they simply plan to make the schools responsible for monitoring the friendships?

Having once worked for a school district's IT shop, I imagine it will be like the enforcement of web content blocking. Nobody actually keeps track of whether inappropriate content is being blocked (no audits, no reports submitted to government), until/unless there's a complaint from a parent. Under the law in question, I wouldn't anticipate that anyone would monitor friend lists (because who has that kind of time). The law will merely be used after the fact as grounds for punishment of teachers caught in inappropriate relationships.

There was a previous thread on this topic here on air-l a week or two ago. The news story is somewhat misleading in that the state law does not create a ban, but directs local school districts to develop policies for teachers' use of social media. Enforcement is with the local district. The actual state law is pretty vague, and many local districts have been developing policies already. I suspect the impact will be minimal. -- Mark D.

But if the connection is already made, even for trading public messages, the door to private messages will be open. So, the prohibition must be for about the connections, not the kind of relationship established by them. It's not possible to control that! I also think it's really weird.

I would like to remark this words from Patricia´s email: "When did teachers became dangerous?", because I think they are the key. If whe think that teachers are dangerous, what must we do with the school? Who will teach our kids? Are teachers dangerous in social networks, but no in the classroom? Seems to me that there are a lot of hard thinking to do about this issue, previous to make a law.
