This is a very interesting concept. I feel like the teacher-student relationship , however, should be kept on a professional basis, and banning teacher-student friendships online could help keep it this way. However, what would missouri do if the teacher and student were friends outside of class, such as from church, sports teams, and other extracurricular activities.

Thanks for this post!
