You say you are young enough to participate in many of the same tech
activities as the kids. I take that to mean that you haven't had a lot
of experience in the educational world. This "laissez faire" attitude
is real nice until a group of FBI agents and Homeland Security Agents
and State Police show up at the front door and you as the technology
coordinator get pulled into the middle of a "mess". An hour later one
of our most respected teachers was lead away in handcuffs because of
what he was doing online.
Now that will change your views on content filtering in a hurry.
