Content Filtering in Schools

As a parent you have a right to know what your kids are using the Internet for at school, and how the schools are monitoring their activity. Ask to speak to the computer lab teacher or even the principal to see if you can sit at one of the terminals when there are no classes being taught to see the websites kids can get to. Or perhaps you can get a copy of all of the school blocked sites. Ask to see a copy of the computer usage policy. If there is no policy or permission slip for parents to sign before their children access the computer, then there should be. School is supposed to be a safe place for kids to be. Let's make sure that it remains that way.
