I battle that myself too

Feel for students and teachers. It's ridiculous. Even thought I do understand liability issues.

we use ePals through Kan-Ed for our email at the grade school level. We have it filtered pretty tight.

Thanks -- I'll pass that suggestion on to schools when I encounter the liability issue.

my DH and I had that discussion last night (he is the tech coordinator). I use ePals as well. Use the reading materials to help!

sorry I was laughing about our conversation last night, not at your post

I figured.
