The rules and policies look good on paper, and most parents, teachers, and administrators agree with them...until ... A breach of the policy occurs, and then there is a human element that comes into play. I believe technology is critical to the education of the generations now in school, and it becomes difficult to take that tool away when you only have 180 days to move a child into the next grade level. Playing that against the need for "IT Security" was a game that usually resulted in the policy or rules being bypassed (just this one time).Frank Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151610213894919997noreply@blogger.com
