How do we keep our kids safe.....Filters
 * There are communities devoted to bypassing school filters
 * Australia spent $84 million on nationwide web filtering and a 16-year-old cracked it in 30-minutes
 * Filters DON'T address the bigger issues

Acceptable Use Policy Recommendations
 * Avoid granular guidelines as they may restrict you're ability to discipline

Filtering is NOT a classroom management policy. Teachers need to have the conversations with students about appropriate use.
