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!"

    It was me. I went over to her house. She had baked me some cookies and made lemonade. It was awesome. But then some cockblocker named Chris showed up and started asking me all these questions. Then it got worse from there.
