Rules to Protect Stupid People

I recently read an article online about how school districts have to create rules to prevent teachers from being inappropriate with students via social media.

In other news, school districts are (probably) babyproofing the teachers' lounges so no one swallows coins or sticks anything in an electrical socket.

I get that kids communicate well (often better) via social media. And if you want to use it, that's cool. But teachers have to know enough on their own to keep it public. If the district needs a rule to get this point across, you need smarter teachers.

If you want to have a website or a public Twitter account where you post homework, that works. Don't send Facebook messages or text messages to minors.
