well my school (junior high) kinda teaches us about it- not like in a classroom but at assemplys and stuff like that- we just had one like a week ago- and i think everyone learned a lot from it.

Schools in my area do. Parents are also required to sign a permission form to allow the kids online at school. Parents are also encouraged to monitor their children and teach them the rules. Unfortunately, parents don't always do a good job.

Some schools do, but the responsibility (bold, underline etc.) is still the parents. If I provide a tool for my kids, I make sure that they know the proper ways to safely use that tool. Whether it is a power saw or the Internet.

they do in NJ, but kids will be kids. meaning that they will continue to do the wrong thing until the learn the hard way. unfortunately their family and friends suffer along with them.
