Apples to Oranges to a simple question. <br /> <br />As for your question, kids aren't even legally supposed to have accounts on those sites until they are 13 and personally I don’t support encouraging them to lie about their age. After that, I wouldn't have a problem with them friending a teacher, assuming the teacher accepted students as friends, which most don't. Personally I also require my kids to give me their passwords and to friend me as well so I can audit their activity. You must not be a Facebook user if you think of "friends" as literal. I have hundreds of friends on Facebook some of which are merely professional acquaintances. It is a general tool for networking and communication. In many lines of work now it is a given you have to have a Facebook account and network with it. And I have teenage nieces and nephews who are “friends” on Facebook too. I also have “friends” who were my teachers back in elementary, middle and high school. This is incredibly common. Again, it is a general communication and networking tool, unless abused, and anything can be abused if not monitored. <br /> <br />BTW, do you have specific evidence that Mr. Cox is friending middle school kids under 13? That wasn’t previously discussed. Sounds like yet another rumor.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I am very familiar with the uses for Facebook and myspace. Most companies now block Facebook and myspace from their corporate networks. So please do your homework prior to eating the apple. <br /> <br />yes children do lie about their age to gain access to these sites. <br /> <br />I did not accuse anyone of anything but posed a question to the viewers about their own children and if they had issues with their children being a teachers friend on those sites. <br /> <br />I never mentioned any teacher in particular and since you draw the line from a generic question to Mr. Cox, guess I will have to look him up and see what students are on his friends list. <br />That's easy enough!!! thanks for pointing this out. <br /> <br />You need not be so determined to defend Mr. Cox, my intent was a generic question but since this is sensitive to you, you are either a teacher or work in the school based on your comments. <br /> <br />You should not be on this at work! More tax dollars being wasted.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />You really don't know what you're talking about, clearly. "Most" companies do not block these sites. Would you like to cite your source for this fact or provide a link? <br /> <br />As for tax dollars, why are they wasted? I don't work for a public company. I'm not even at work. And aren't you posting too? <br /> <br />Who said anything about defending Mr. Cox? I have no dog in this fight because I know nothing about the circumstances pertaining to Mr. Cox specifically. I trust the school board to collect the facts and do the right thing. I only object to vast generalizations and misinformation on any topic. <br /> <br />And give it a rest with your weak claim that you weren't inferring about Mr. Cox with your teacher friending students comment. This entire topic is about Mr. Cox. Read the title. If you wanted to change the subject you would have said so. <br /> <br />I have no idea if you are a Troll or someone with an axe to grind but clearly you have an agenda. That's cool. Just don't expect others to follow...</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br /> I never referenced Mr. Cox in my post. The defender did. <br />Most large and some small companies DO block social websites from their network so as to not lose productivity from their employees, or Lose sensitive data that can be transmitted off their networks. <br />Call any fortune 500/1000 company and ask for their communications policy, since you are home and have time. <br />Most medical, financial, industrial, and government agencies filter their network content. <br /> <br />Clearly it is YOU who needs an education on this.
