Teacher's facebook page

My son came back home from a playdate & informed me him and his mate had a good laugh looking at his teachers facebook page (which according to him incl. wedding photos, kissing girls and somewhat privet photos).

My son isnt allowed a facebook page and he informed me it was his friend who just showed him and he said his mum knows so it's ok. I was shocked and i dont think it's right at all to poke his nose into his teachers facebook page, i`m slightly surprised it's exposed so easily but than again i do not know much about social media expect for the fact i have banned it in our house. His teacher is a VERY good teacher and i want my son to repect him. Shall i just ignore this, he says all students do this and it's allowed and harmless but i wonder .... any thoughts ?

Same with cover photos- they've suddenly become public too.

Cover photos have ALWAYS been public & fb has never hidden this fact.

I am always scrupulously careful about what I post on FB, but I wouldn't go so far as to change my name. What would be the point of that?

That said, I've just checked my public profile and there is more info on there than I would have thought. Nothing incriminatory, but is there any way to restrict it? There are a fair few profile pictures, plus any comments written on those pictures, as well as my entire friends list. Is it possible to limit/delete any of that?

When I say I didn't use my real name it was my name but a variation of it, anyone who knows me knew that it was me.
Past profile pictures can be hidden by changing the audience of them to friends only. That way only your current one shows up to anyone who is not your friend.
There is a way of making your friends list private as I know people who have done it but I don't know how you do it?
