Nice. Mmm. Mmm.

That's awesome.

I mean, don't add them on fucking Facebook. What the fuck are we talking about here? I was figuring, like, if I snap them, no filters, just my real face. Yeah, dude, I mean, this is, you're already... Yeah, it's a recipe for disaster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Without, it goes without saying, don't fuck any of the kids. Let's just start there.

If you do that, you could get fired. We got to keep you employed, man. I think, and look, there's also the fact that, you know, it's been so long since we've been in school. Maybe kids are just so online that like having some kind of online relationship with them, there is some normal thing, normalcy to it. But like,

I don't, my knee-jerk reaction is that the line is exactly there. The line is exactly, because like, even before social media, it's like, and I know you were less, you know, you'd have to call someone or email. Like, how about this? Email seems like a reasonable, like if you're, if anybody wants to get in touch with you, maybe they can email you. You know what I mean? But I think all social media, I mean, we were growing up just as social media sort of started to be a thing. Um,

And, or even like, you know, I just had, you know, being younger and just knowing people that were in school even when you were in college. Even in college where it's like, college social media was taking off and I feel like professors made it a point to not be accessible there. And I think the reality is you gotta fucking, you cannot...

You're young. You just started teaching. It sounds like you need to understand that like you cannot have a digital footprint. These kids can find and you're going to have to use social media less. You're going to have to be private on everything. You're going to have to just like that's to me, that's the line. And if if you want to have some kind of online relationship outside of school with them, I think keep it something professional like email or

And let it be clear that when they are emailing you, they're emailing their teacher. They're not emailing their buddy fucking Dan or whatever the fuck. Sorry, Dan. It's a common name. And just to be clear, I would never be a teacher. Never. Yeah, no, it seems fucking crazy and a lot of work, but...

um yeah that's that's what i would say is like you just cannot yeah make your shit private because they will find stuff to to use against you i mean i know you're the cool teacher but yeah that changes quick brother changes fast if anything like you can if they like try to add you after like they graduate high school or something like that's when you can be like okay sure whatever this is harmless as long as you're like i don't even know about that no yeah

18 dude as soon as they graduate that's kind of fucking weird still not 18 but down the line I don't know I can think of like teachers from high school that I'm friends with on Facebook now that it's just like yeah whatever but did you fucking add them the day you graduated yeah

The day you turn 18. Yeah, yeah. The day you turn 18, you get a fucking couple requests. Happy birthday. Yeah. The moment they turn 18, you want to send a singing telegram to their home. Well, happy birthday, Sarah. You've grown into such an impressive woman. Yeah. I got you this Sibian as a graduation present.

Can I drop it off? Yeah, sorry. I ordered up on Amazon. They accidentally sent me a couple extra. Figured you might as well get some use out of it.
