highlighting one or two often causes a panic-like feeling in our
parents. =20
We put out guidelines to our parents in general several times of year.
We talk about many things including social networking. We are a K-8
school, so we ask parents to check out places their students are
visiting online. We let them know that many are for 13 and over,
including many social networks including Facebook. We emphasize
supervision as the best "filter." =20

Subject: websites to watch out for
A parent gave me copy of a newsletter from another independent school in
which the headmaster warned parents about Formspring, a social
networking site that is an open invitation for gossip and insults. I'm
curious how schools handle their distribution of such information among
parents. First, is it the school's job to alert parents to Formspring
and similar sites and, if so, who does it and how is it done?
Many thanks for the collective wisdom of the listserv.
