The rulers of the U.S. state of Missouri earlier this week approved a law that prohibits teachers and students to be friends on social networks and keep in touch with other services that allow the private channels of communication network, such as IM, for example.
According to the text, from 1 January 2012 each district will be responsible for developing your own code to determine the limits of communication between teachers and students, including guidelines for oral communication and digital media.
But anyway the teachers can not maintain services or Web sites to communicate with their students - unless access can be monitored by the school and the students responsible for - or non-work related sites with exclusive access to students and former students.
Officially given the name of Law 54, Article was proposed by Senator Jane Cunningham and is also known as Amy Hester Law, named after the case of a woman who was sexually harassed by a former teacher after they were reunited on the Internet.
