I'm forwarding this URL (below) because it seems to capture some of the
perspective that is missing from the discussion about the effect of
filtering, specifically as seen through a student's eyes. As I read his
account of Internet use at his school, it occurred to me that what the
Internet is to most students today is a far cry from what the Internet is
to me. For many students, the Internet consists of an electronic
hypertext-linked (maybe), Times Square version of a USA Today/World Book
Encyclopedia/Harvard University Library conglomerate of information. It
is just another level, albeit a more sophisticated level, of passive TV
watching.
So, does the training HS students receive about network design and admin,
markup languages, and assorted other support services also address WHY
these services might be perceived as important to a potential employer?

This is a wonderful story that provides some hope for the future.
FILTERING IN SCHOOLS - A PERSONAL STORY
