Commenting on "Teacher guidelines: Students are not your friends"

This guideline should not just apply to schools, but also extend to higher education, such as colleges, TAFEs and universities. In fact, getting too close with students in person can present just as much, if not more, problems as with social networking media.
I am still keeping in touch via FB with a few of my former students, who live in Australia and various countries in the world. Interestingly, some still treat me as their teacher instead of their friend, and ask for different sorts of advice.
