MiddlePath: Ok. So should a school ban facebook? Yes. If its a private school and that’s what the parents paying for it are expecting.
As a side note. I do believe that a school should ban facebook and the private use of the internet by kids. It has nothing to do with being Jewish. I believe in keeping a child’s innocence as long as possible. Why are taking these little angels and making them grow up way before their time? Putting them in charge of their own safety when they haven’t yet reached the age of 10. Are we shirking our responsibilities.
Yes. I know its something they want. They also want a million dollars to be able to get the latest brand name clothing, latest video game console and so much more. Are we as parents losing the ability to say NO.? What exactly will happen if children get full exposure to the realities of the world when they are a little older? Anyone going to lose out if they get acquainted with the internet/facebook when they are out of high school? (never figured out the importance of facebook anyway. It might be a toy but definitely not a necessity.)
This whole conversation doesn’t just stop at FB
