Facebook: To View or not to View

We asked a high school teacher the following question:
Should a parent (or college) monitor a high school students Facebook account. Here is his answer:

As a parent, and a teacher, this question is one that I frequently discuss. On one side, I can understand why parents would want to monitor their child's account. After all, it is a dangerous world and high school students often don't know what is appropriate or potentially dangerous. As a teacher, I think that high school students should be left alone when it comes to Facebook since it is a just another means by which students socially interact. If a parent suspects any problems, then yes, I can see intervening. As far as a college viewing these accounts, I suspect that most are too busy to bother. I think parents should teach their children boundaries way before high school. Facebook is not the only way for children to get themselves in trouble.
