their licenses over a 4-year period because of inappropriate relationships, sometimes involving online communications. so a new law is scheduled to kick in in missouri at the end of this month that says teachers and students cannot communicate privately on line through social networks. you can post on a teacher's wall but you can't send private messages. the people who wrote this law probably don't know how facebook works because you can't really friend someone unless you send them a private communication. they are threatening to sue saying it violates first amendment rights of teachers and this hurts communication. students don't call their teachers any more. they e-mail or message them. the aclu says this is written so broadly it could even prevent teachers. they want to work out something

that protects students but doesn't prevent teachers from having any on line communication. there are other pollties when this goes into effect at the end of the month. for now, still questions whether or not and how this might work. >> it will be interesting to follow. thank you very much. >> 5:44. schools across the country are getting a break from the no child left lind law. the education secretary will introduce a waiver system. duncan says more than 80% of u.s. schools would be labeled failures under the current mandates of the law. until the law is changed schools can ask the requirements be waived. schools in all 50 states will be elgubl for waivers. >> playing sports in hot weather is safe for kids as long as you use common sense according to a new report. the report finds that the old
