When is it appropriate to communicate with students over social media?
- A.
  
  When you get along very well.
- B.
  
  On your personal time.
- C.
  
  Upon request from the student.
- D.

Explanation
It is appropriate to never communicate with students over social media. This is because social media platforms may lack the necessary privacy and security measures to protect both the student and the teacher. Additionally, communicating with students over social media blurs the boundaries between personal and professional life, which can lead to potential ethical and legal issues. It is important to maintain a professional relationship with students and use appropriate channels of communication, such as school-provided email or messaging systems.
