I am with you on your other thread. But being a good parent and raising your child = making sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing and making sure the community and environment they frequent are conditioned for them to thrive.
The internet offers a lot for students as a research tool if they are pointed in the right direction- just like the world offers a lot if they are pointed in the right direction.
The internet is a new front that needs bounds and monitoring for children that our parents did not have to face.
EDIT: Besides, it took you a while to gather the smarts to know you were talking to a Nigerian dude on the net a couple of weeks ago.
