websites to watch out for

A parent gave me copy of a newsletter from another independent school in wh=
ich the headmaster warned parents about Formspring, a social networking sit=
e that is an open invitation for gossip and insults. I'm curious how school=
s 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.
