fb cadet/instrucor loophole

[mollykins]

I think I found a kind of loophole in the not being friends with an instructor situation.

Seeing as sending messages on facebook doesn't cost us anything, and that's what we do instead of texting, we could delete each other from being friends but as long as we don't block each other, we can still send messages, which TBH isn't any different to texting realy is it? and technically we're nto breaking rules, seeing as we won't be fb friends. . . . what do you think?

And don't saying that you think i should go back to school and learn how to spell instructor, i've just realised it's wrong, but i didn't check, in my haste to ask you.

That I am losing the will to live.

What a jolly wheeze Molly, well thought out !!

[anneasquith]

well i think its an excellent molly, and well done for thinking up the solution yourself,

[sherrardk]

Here's a mad idea - why don't you just speak to each other when you see each other at school and cadets?

[anneasquith]

rulkes re rules, sherrak

[mollykins]

I should be a lawyer with all the loopholes I think of . . .

[anneasquith]

"rulkes" ? trouble with my keyboard. a lawyer molly ?

Sherrard she told me today that's she's got a nearly full time job (9-3pm) so she'll be leaving sixth form . . . . plus there might eb something we need to tell the other which we would normally text, but a fb message is free . . .

[sherrardk]

Shouldn't you be out getting drunk somewhere?

[Prudie]

Just asked my daughter who lives on FB and she doesn't think you can chat to people who are not on your friends list?

[sherrardk]

Hi Prudie - I have 'spoken' to people who are not my friends on FB.

[Prudie]

Hi Sherrardk, that's OK then or Molly's solution would be in the pooper! Daughter must never have tried it,

[ojread2]

your friend should be neither texting nor Facebooking when she is at work!

[ummmm]

You can't really say that oj unless you know what her job is.

Moly - seriously - just accept that your friend can't contact you via FB AT ALL while she's an instructor. The rules are there to protect the cadets, not to mess up your existing friendships - ANY contact via FB is "contact by FB", don't try to get round it. The rules are there for a reason. If this was some weirdo instructor, and you were worried about them being able to contact cadets by underhand means, you'd be glad these protections are there. Just accept. As I've said to you before, not all the rules in life are fair. Either you stop FBing with her or one of you leaves cadets - better than than she gets dressed down and it's on her record for the rest of her life that she was sacked as instructor for breaking the (very simple) rules.

so, social networking or social life s allowed where you work? I don't think so and I find it highly unlikely to NOT being allowed where Molly's friend will be working so I can quite safely say, ummmm, as above
