Is it appropriate for a high school teacher to give his cell phone number to his students?

[Anonymous]

And does this answer change if he's a coach and they are on his team? What if they are not on his team?

I don't have a student athlete, so I don't know what the accepted practice is.

Never appropriate for a teacher or coach to have a minor students number or the other way around.

There are systems like Remind the teacher should be using

My son’s middle Middle school soccer coach has team Numbers and they have his and are in a group text chat. Some coaches use snap chat or other social media groups to communicate with team. I don’t see anything wrong with it.

No. My son has told me that this is not allowed at his public school.

How so? I monitor my son’s phone so I see all of the communication and it’s about practice and games.

Exactly. It’s called grooming.

Absolutely not appropriate. Report this. Coaches should not do this either.

Snaps disappear when they are viewed, so you won’t see it.

My husband is a HS teacher and would never ever communicate directly in a digital way. Ick.

Parents are to be communicated with not the student athlete.

Snaps disappear! You aren’t very social media educated I see. Plus, why would an adult need this much direct contact with a minor in middle school?
