Inappropriate Student-Teacher Relationships Online

The student-teacher relationship has always been an important one, but can it go too far?

Myspace pages, Facebook, online chat rooms- each one, an opporunity for both students and teachers to cross the line.

"It's something that districts are dealing with everywhere across Texas and across the country."

And Ector County ISD is no different.

"We do not specifically, in policy, address social networking sites- we do however have an employee policy packet every year."

Inside- relationships with students are distinctly spelled out, including what crosses the line.

"It's not in policy, but it is mentioned to them, they really need to be careful if they're going to have pages like that- myspace and facebook."

Some teachers use myspace pages to communicate effectively, but it's the personal, sometimes surprising pages that has one Fort Stockton student worried.

"It's not good. I don't like it. It's okay to a certain extent. But if there's something on there that's unnecessary, I would let somebody know."

Most school districts have filters watch anyone possibly clicking and typing their way to trouble.

"We're constantly monitoring the sites that are on throughout our district."

But Renea Edwards of Wink says, parents also need to watch out.

"They wanna meet these people in places behind their parents back and that's when other things lead to other things.
You never know what's out there."

But like it or not, it may be a sign of the times.

"Would you befriend your teacher online? Probably. I had lots of good teachers."

As always, if you have any concerns, meet with your child's principal or contact the administration office. School districts take these cases very seriously.

Band director in high school ended up having a lesbian relationship with a girl who was one grade ahead of me. The girl was more than 18 when she started having the relationship.

So whoever posted this is not alone.

IT would be a good idea to understand that The News is not and has never been about helping anyone set and achieve positive goals.

What we all individually and collectively need is to learn and experience more about the process of setting and achieving positive goals ... and Facebook can definitely help.
