Educating Parents in our districts

[Robin Martin]

Unless we begin to educate the parents in our school districts about dangerous behavior, there will continue to be problems. Well there will be problems anyway; teachers cannot do it all. It is important that we run workshops for parents and teachers about the new tools predators are using. Last year I held 5 workshops for parents in our schools, a local church and a neighboring school. This year there was only a request for one parent program and one staff program. I created a blog for parents to access and try to keep it updated, but it is tough to get the word out. Most parents deny kids access to myspace.com, but fail to see other problem websites.

Robin,
Thank your for this post and sharing your blog! I was approached in my district to put together a presentation for parents on internet safety. If you or anyone else has any other resources to share, it would be much appreciated!
