Should teachers and students be Facebook friends?
More and more, students are friend-requesting their teachers on Facebook. But should teachers accept those friend-requests? Most school boards and teachers' unions say they shouldn't.
But some teachers do, anyway. For instance, a recent survey by the BC College of Teachers found that 20% of educators in that province accept friend-requests from their students.
What do you think? Listen to two teachers debating the issue, then let us know.

What do you make of the response to the floods in Pakistan?

Since floods began ravaging Pakistan more than a month ago, an estimated 1,600 people have died and more than 20 million have been affected. That's more people than the 2004 Asian tsunami and the recent earthquakes in Kashmir and Haiti combined.
Today on Q, we spoke to Professor Adil Najam and musician Salman Ahmad about why the international response has been so slow, especially compared to other recent disasters.
We want to know what you think. What's your own response been to the floods in Pakistan? What do you make of the response -- or lack thereof -- to the disaster?

Should the song "Down Syndrome Girl" from Family Guy win an Emmy?
Today, we spoke to Carol Bishop Mills (a member of the Board of Directors of the National Down Syndrome Congress) who believes the song, and the episode in which it occurred, is offensive and disparaging to people with intellectual disabilities. But other disability advocates say they are happy with the episode because it's inclusive, and because the character depiction is non-stereotypical.
What do you think? Does "Down Syndrome Girl" cross the line when it comes to television satire? Or are critics missing the sarcasm of Family Guy, which hails itself as an "equal-opportunity offender"?
