Re: [LM_NET] Website that lets kids access myspace, etc

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

I am so sorry Nancy... 
That was not my intent at all 
I had been reading all of the posts and I guess I
finally hit reply on yours.

From people saying that they think kids should bypass
filtering, to complaints about censorship, etc.

When tech folks, teachers, or administrators start
complaining about librarians -
I tell tech folks, teachers, or administrators  - if
their media specialists have fixed schedules and no
assistants -- don't expect a high quality library
program with alot of services

It is a two way street

And this is group effort...
