"Technology is making it easier to engage in inappropriate communication with students, and fewer educators are deliberate about how they conduct themselves because it's easier to say something in a text message than in person," said Rich Haglund, an attorney for the Tennessee Board of Education. Haglund reports that firings due to inappropriate messages have increased in the last year. More than half of the 27 cases in which teachers lost licenses in 2010 involved inappropriate contact with students, records show. Among those, at least seven specifically included texting by the teacher. This behavior was not limited to new hires, but veteran teachers as well. In the state of Tennessee, individual school districts set their policies on contacting students and social media. In Nashville, there are explicit policies on contacting students and using inappropriate websites. "The rapid growth of social media and advances in technology have brought as many issues for people as they have provided benefits," Nashville school system spokeswoman Olivia Brown said. Inappropriate behavior via social networking sites and text messages can be career ending for some. With the dawn of these new technologies, we have posted tips and tricks on to handle these new and evolving situations. Well meaning teachers who see no harm in giving out their cell phone number can often be caught in the crossfire. Be sure to read and understand your specific district's policy about contacting students and be sure to protect your career with liability insurance through AAE.

For stubborn stains or buildup, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the affected areas and let it sit for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a soft brush or cloth.
