Explanation:

Analyze the question prompt

The question asks to identify which of the listed options is a "DON'T" (an action educators should avoid) rather than a "DO" (an action educators should perform) regarding professional boundaries and ethics.

Evaluate the options

• Option A: "Keep work and play communications separate." This is a recommended practice (a "DO") to maintain professional boundaries.
• Option B: "Monitor your internet presence." This is a recommended practice (a "DO") to ensure professional standards are maintained online.
• Option C: "Post outstanding student achievements on your Facebook page." Posting student information or achievements on a personal social media account violates student privacy laws (FERPA) and breaches professional boundaries. This is a "DON'T".
• Option D: "Abide by the Texas Educators' Code of Ethics." This is a mandatory requirement (a "DO").

Identify the correct choice

Option C is the only action that represents a "DON'T" for educators.

Answer:

• (A) Keep work and play communications separate.
• (B) Monitor your internet presence.
• (C) Post outstanding student achievements on your Facebook page. (Correct answer)
• (D) Abide by the Texas Educators' Code of Ethics.
