I have heard the statistics. Our school district did a program for parents then 2 weeks later presented the material to the students. I think it was great that they did. We are all breaking new ground here and no one can fully understand the implications of the internet on our children. I dont believe it is all bad, in fact, I think it is really exciting!
Hey Kate!
Thanks for dropping by!
I don't think it is all bad either.
We just need to be aware...
very aware.

I think it is quite frightening and i can see how easy it is for kids to be lured into thinking they "know" they person they are speaking to over the internet. It is only since I have been blogging that I realise how connected we can become through the internet even though we don't talk face to face. I regularly remind my kids about if anyone asks to meet them, ask for private information etc. It's a horrible world out there ....
I tried to say something on this yesterday. Blogger wouldn't cooperate. Now I forgot what I was going to say.
sigh.
Hi, TJ ..hope you're having a good weekend.
You're right Sue. If we have trouble trusting strangers that we meet face to face, why shouldn't we over the internet too?
Thanks Peggikaye...
Blogger has been a bad, bad host this past week.
I can't tell you how many times I couldn't access my blog, post, or comment just in the last seven days.
I hope they get their act together and get their issues fixed.
later...
