FB and the high school teacher

So I have a FB page and so does my sister who teaches high school. I didnt get mine until I was already teaching college so I didnt run into this issue. On day I went to post something on her page about buying cookies from my sons fundraiser and I noticed there was nothing on her page. I was taken aback by that and asked her about it. Her responce was that she deleated everything from her wall. I asked her why and all she said was she just did. I dont know if she has any students on her friends list (I know I do) but I wonder if it has anything to do with the article we read about teachers and the issues surrounding being on FB. I dont know because I didnt get that from her but it now makes me wonder. I know that I dont post anything that I would care if my students read, nothing really personal and all that and she never had anything that could be considered an issue. However, I am just wondering how much of being a high school teacher played in her deleating what her other friends had posted. I know my other sister (we are not FB friends now, long story) who now teaches elementary school took a lot off her page when she was looking for a job. Fb is a great tool but again we do have to be careful what we post, it is out there for the world to see.
