I've been online now for over a dozen years -- since well before Al Gore invented the Internet! ;) Unfortunately for my boy, that means I've seen some of the bad as well as much of the good that happens.
I have always been very careful to monitor his online time.
At school, they're not as closely monitored, and although they sign a contract about where they'll go and what they'll do -- it doesn't seem to carry much weight with some of the kids.
One of my son's friends was over recently, and I walked to find his friend pretty much drooling over a website that he said he'd found at school.
I reminded both boys that regardless of what the rules are or aren't at school, I will staple them to my ceiling (we have very high ceilings!) if I find them on anything even vaguely objectionable again, bless 'em. The indicated that they DEFINITELY understood the rules here...and I'm satisfied that it won't happen again.
Should I tell the school about the incident, in that I was informed this was a site that was found at school? (looking at the history, it appears he/they took a direct route to get there, so I tend to believe that it wasn't just happened upon...
