High School Facebook Protocol

Oh yes, I understand what you mean about the professional distance/power gap, and I meant it when I said I appreciated your input. We (Beest and I) just have a different idea of what the relationships should be between children and their educators, and have chosen schools with that in mind. In the elementary school, all members of the community are treated as equals, teachers and kids and parents are friends and so there is no "power gap" and that's how it should be in our opinion. Yes, it's public school. But it is alternative. No facebook there, though -not official facebook, anyway- because the students are too young. However, at the High School, things are somewhat more traditional in most cases, but not in this particular setting. This group are also on first name terms. If my child unfriends this person, they will miss important information.
