I think a teacher shouldn't share their personal Facebook account, but a different account for school support would be acceptable, probably even beneficial.
Teachers should create a 'professional' Facebook page, with their formal name. They should make it a closed group, subject to approval by the teacher. This way the teacher can accept requests from current students and post things pertinent to them professionally. Perhaps good ideas for big upcoming projects, important dates, educational links,etc. This way the students, who are already on Facebook anyway, can check in and see if they need to attend something, is there a fundraiser? A concert? An upcoming game? Important assignments like large group projects? My friend in Miami who has won many accolades in her fledgling career, keeps a professional page and a personal page. She posts all of those things aforementioned and posts photos of kids doing things like chart work, projects, gatherings like Science fairs, etc. Students can message her or post publicly and she approves all of i before it goes online. It seems to be an excellent tool if used correctly. She is a high-school teacher. My 11th grade son is still friends with his 3rd grade teacher on Facebook, my college student son is still friends with the above mentioned teacher, who tutored him in math when he was 10. She and her husband have visited us here in Colorado several times over the last few years and I consider her a friend and a mentor to both of my sons.
The staff at schools are there as mentors and leaders not friends, anybody having many friends as students must have a mental problem and should be to closely observed...
