I work at a private school and one of my students suggested we start a facebook group for everyone at our school. Is this dangerous? Will I open my kids up to online predators? Could the page get out of hand and kids flame the school? (right now they love it, but who knows if one kids gets pissed off in the future)

I'm not sure why your student didn't just start a group already; the process is quite easy for any Facebook user. Anyone who joins the group would be identifying him/herself with the school, so I suppose online predators would be able to associate the members with the school. There is a lot of flaming going on on groups, but the person who posts a comment is always identified as the author; this might keep flaming down in your case. Also, the administrator of a group can choose not to make posting available.

well, i would send permission slips areound and facebook is cool but any website you go to can have online perdators!!! any page could get out of hand even yahoo answers- i think it would be ok but talk to the school board and parents
another suggestion: just do a vote thing righ tnow andif some parents have a issue w/it ask them why and take those ideas into conseideration

U can give it a try. U use this to get closer with your students. Maybe u can set such a system only to add people within the school people

Well, considering Facebook feels the need to monitor what you do off their site and then post your activities (online purchases and sites you visit) to your profile for everyone to see. Facebook needs to rethink their privacy policy. (Also considering they ask you for so much personal information).
This could get tricky...especially for a whole school.

Personnally, I don't think you should support it, but if they want to do it themselves thats ok. I've done this before, it turns out being a mess. Also most internet users are generally cautious about predators, but it puzzles me that some arn't.
