Are schools or children the problem?

Schools should be less concerned in preventing misbehavior and should focus their attention in teaching children to responsibly navigate the internet. Early teachings of productive and good behavior in schools may have positive long term effects on children. Schools want to shape each child into responsible and stable individuals and by teaching them proper behavior at an early age will assist them in being successful.

NSBA's daily weblog wrote an entry "Limited internet access at school, a service or disservice?" arguing the limited internet access in schools. The entry discusses how schools have high expectations from children on homework assignments. A child fortunate to have internet access at home will be able to provide sufficient information to his or her peers compared to a child who does not have internet access. The internet is a part of our everyday lives; however, not everyone is fortunate to have the access to it. Children are curious individuals who want to explore and instead of limiting internet access in schools they should be provided with the opportunity to learn more.

I agree to some extent with what schools are doing but many children are being prevented to explore their social network and education. The internet is here to stay and today’s education relies on it. Today’s society is merely focused on exposing a negative image, and the youngsters who are the future of this country are 1) corrupted by the media and the internet and or 2) prevented to explore the tools we rely on today. What are we to do? Its not a child's fault if he or she is curious in wanting to know more. I’m talking about children here! They are little explorers. The restrictions should not be made on children but on those who upload inappropriate sites, videos, or links. Am I right or am I right?
