School Monitors Student Blogs

American Voices ISSUE 42•21 May 30, 2006

A school district in Illinois is going to monitor students’ blogs and MySpace profiles for "illegal and inappropriate behavior." What do you think?

  • “Yay! Now they definitely won't have enough time to monitor the boiler-room and under the gymnasium bleachers.”

    Todd Grubman –
    Intern

  • “Oh, so if I cruise MySpace looking for information on children, I'm a pervert, but if a school district does it, they're being responsible.”

    Lisa Hruska –
    Housewife

  • “Finally we can move on to the next item on the district's agenda: The spectacular lack of learning going on in the classroom.”

    Holden Rasche –
    Customs Officer
