the student receiving presents, meeting in person, or other suspicious signs of a predator, what should you do?

a. Ask the student yourself

b. Call parents

c. Ignore the situation

d. Call the police

Teachers are often asked to be friended by students on a social

networking cite. Do you think it is ethical to accept the friend request or

should you deny it?

it?Punish the students
