my school has teachr sponsored trips
Is that too “fraternizing” to you?
I was an active duty Army officer, I know what is and what is not fraternization, dude
And I did 22 years, so let's talk. Would you say that making your subordinates privy to all of the details of family comments, problems, etc. is crossing the line into fraternization or not? By my definition, it unquestionably is.
So, now that you have your students, family, and friends on Facebook, how are you going to ensure they don't see any of that? I don't think you have a lot of control over it, even if you are extremely restrained yourself. Thus, the no Facebook rule. Great rule for military too, if I was still in, I'd instruct all of my officers and NCOs accordingly.
