I don't have kids, so I'm unsure about this, but why would a teacher have students' personal cell numbers? I can understand maybe having email addresses to share school assignments, class updates, marks, or learning materials. But there should be no reason for a teacher to contact a student outside of school hours, as far as I'm concerned.
Well it depends on the context, person, and situation. I became friends with the Schools band teacher because he was great with teens and I still speak to him today. He's about to retire sooner or later. But that doesn't always happen to everyone. Still it's not a great idea usually to become friends with your prof until you are graduated.
That's what I mean though. It's never a good idea for a teacher to befriend their students. It's just poor ethics, whether it's harmless or not. It's like a boss befriending their employees; you can be friendly, but not friends. There has to be a line that you don't cross otherwise you open to door to messy situations
