This week I read an article in the Fisch bowl called even more on filtering. It was debating weather limiting students to what they can and can access on the web is a good or bad idea. Mr. Fisch says " keeping the Internet wide open will help kids to develop good judgment and sense". I agree with him however what about the kids who have already developed these skills? wont they just get right back on these sites knowing that they wont get in trouble because they are well trusted. I think some will and some wont. Those people who wont go back to these sites because they have learned are people who have good grades and are doing well in school. Those that will once again travel to these sites are the opposite. these people travel to the sites because they think its cool and there friends think its cool. Well A little FYI for those people, its not. going to these sites will just upset your parents and they will wind up grounding you from that once in a life time concert that you were going to go to.



Basically what Mr. Fisch is tiring to say is that its fine to keep the Internet open as along as people develop good habits to keep themselves away from these sometimes harmful sites. I defiantly agree with him and his blog. The reason that sites are blocked by teachers and parents is because they want to keep us safe. Personally I don't think we are helping by going on these sites without permission. It's just bad. In the end however many people have never been on these sites and happen upon them by mistake. I think we should keep the Internet open as long as people respect the rules and regulations.
