IT around here is nothing to brag about Neither are the students.
Why is this not the fault of the professional who posted this information? Do you not want to go that direction because he is was an academic and therefore unaccountable for his stupidity? Do you blame Ford for all the drunk driving accidents out there because they provided the vehicle? Technology is now a part of an academics professional life whether they like it or not. It is time for them to understand how to use it. Stop squawking for admins to babysit supposedly intelligent people who have the capability to understand technology but are too lazy or arrogant to do so.
I really do not see any useful solutions to the kid who does not have watchful parents. Are those kids to be sacraficed so that we can say I told you so to the parents who did not watch that kid? What about that kid? Is it his fault? Do I have to end every sentance with a "?" ? I also know that I have not come up with a solution here either, but I feel that there is a problem here that needs some sort of solution (nowhere in there did I say Govt. solution). I also am more realistic then to expect parents who have never listen in the past to start paying attention. I am just frustrated with all of the posts that say, "watch your kids, I do and they are fine," because it is not the watched kids who have a problem.
The problem has never been about kids who HAVE parents who look after them. Those kids usually make it out ok no matter what they are doing and at what age. Everyone knows that we can scream, "Look after your kids", at the top of our lungs for as long as possible but that still will not help those kids who do not have parents who listen. What do you say to those kids, "Sorry kid, if your parents don't give a crap I am not going to"? I know that it is easy to go that route, takes the blame off of the rest of us who are "good parents", but that still does not make us good people.
