Since I will likely be teaching soon, I need to make sure that students can't find me on FB unless I want them to. But I'm new to the site so not 100% sure I understand the settings options.

I have options set to 'only friends' for pretty much everything. So, for example, if a teacher I work with has me as a friend - but also has students as friends - and I comment on something on his wall, can those students see my comments?

This is probably a daft question, I know!

TIA

Yes they could see your comments on others' pages if they are friends. But they can't get to your page if you set it to be seen by only friends. Just speaking as a teacher myself, I don't let any student "friend" me. I have had numerous requests. I block them (which means I don't even turn up in a search anymore for them) and delete the request.

I think its also good to know that if you send a message or reply to a message sent to you (private message), they will be able to see your page for a month.
