In Illinois, one school board voted unanimously to require students to sign a pledge that says they won’t post anything inappropriate on “Myspace”. And it has nothing to do with whether or not the kids are visiting the site at school! If the administration gets tipped off to anything risqué, the student will “face disciplinary action”. So, what do you think…should the board butt out, or is it a good way to help parents keep their kids safe?

A lot of parents aren't doing their jobs. I think that if this stops one little girl or boy from posting personal information and being the victim of a predator, it's worth it.

What ever happened to the concept of "it takes a village"? It doesn't sound like the schools will be surfing the net or anything. Maybe just the threat of disciplinary action will make some of these kids think before they post something that is inappropriate.

Too many parents are working long hours at work and are too tired to supervise their kids. Plus, too many parents just give the kids a lot of money and tell them to go about their business, not to mention buy nearly everything the kids want.

I remember watching a special on Dateline about a month ago. Three parents were sure their kids were not posting on MySpace or were not posting personal information. They were all wrong. They wasn't any supervision. These parents were just so caught up with day to day things, they took their daughters at their word. One girl even posted that she wanted to meet the undercover officer who she thought was a young boy. You can't be too careful.

It does take a village to raise a child, but if your gonna pick and choose, who's gonna do the raising, then you should also take responsibility for it's failure!!!. If i had a child, and it was on a Chat room board, or even here, and I gave it, explicit orders to never visit the site(s) and they disobeyed me. I would unplug the computer first, and if they did it again, i would sell it. Too many parents want to put the blame on the system. Then have it both ways on personal responsibilities ,when it comes to there kids!!! this can also be said of cell phone too!! If we are to be a village, we as the adults have to act like adults, and accept,the nature of the beast, we created!!!! create Stahl's, thAT HELP THEM GROW!! but keeps them safe, it's what keeps them safe, we can't agree on, and having said that, if there is a problem at home, it needs to be addressed at the home first!!, not the school.

I guess at the end of the day, it should be up to the parents to say whether or not they want their kid's school to get involved. But sadly, there are so many parents who don't know what their kids are doing at home or at school. Some one else should be there when parents drop the ball.

REMEMBER this for as long as you live!!! when parents drop the ball, the next generation,ALWAYS, gets hurt!!!! all you have to do, is look back, at our history to get the point!!. Thats why I jump on our leaders so much!!!

The school's job is to edcuate the kids with parents' help, not babysit and watch over what they do when they get out of school.
The school's responsibility begins when they get on the bus/parents drop them off and it ends when the students gets off the bus/parents pick them up. Beyond that, parents and neighbors need to ensure that their children are doing the right thing.

Many parents have no clue their kids are living double lives. It's not the school's fault that's happening, nor should they be taking the time to patrol the kids when they're at home. Parents need to get off their sorry asses and raise their kids.
