School Boards Rule, Internet No Longer Dangerous

destinyland writes "Good news. The National School Boards Association, which represents 95,000 school board members, just released a report declaring fears of the internet are overblown. In fact, after surveying 1,277 students, "the researchers found exactly one student who reported they'd actually met a stranger from the internet without their parents' permission. (They described this as "0.08 percent of all students.") The report reminds educators that schools initially banned internet use before they'd realized how educational it was. Now instead they're urging schools to include social networks in their curriculum!"

urging schools to include social networks in their curriculum

I think they mean use MySpace as another way to occupy kids in the 12 year government mandated daycare. I don't know what goes on in schools now, but it isn't teaching.
