[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 98304, member: 1233"] If she is old enough to have a laptop she is old enough to follow the rules. I am sorry. I will not speak to religion or anyother, just rules, consequences. I will say that the less emotion/upset/reaction you show, the better. This is the case for many things with our kids. I am the yeller usually in our house. NOt lately, but up to a few years ago. I will say that 13 is VERY VERY young to be alone and unsupervised on the internet. My daughter is 12, and will be MUCH older before I will permit any internet acces on "her own" computer. She has a logon ID, I am sure she can create a new hotmail or whatever account (she is quite intelligent, as most are about this anymore). BUT we have software recording every keystroke and website visited. And that is on the ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT. Even more layers on the other accounts. She has not, to my knowledge, gone anywhere we told ehr not to, but she is a child. The internet is a big ole welcome sign on a door with no lock, if it is not on a monitored computer. If school wants her to have that much access, then school can provide the laptop and stand over her (physically) while she does school work. I have been faced with this argument (idiocy - teacher wanted to sell her ebay stuff while kids "researched" stuff, among so many other times the school insisted a child of mine could not possible learn anything unless he/she/it had internet access (by it, I think they relented when I found they had a student account set up for my cat - NOT a joke, not by a LONG shot. Sadly, the teacher DARED my oldest to do this. Told him it was not possible. The cat's name was FRECKLES DEES. And that was our cat's name.) I would include teacher accompanying her home for any/all homework to be viewed, downloaded, submitted, or otherwise having anything to do with the internet. But I am a meanie, jsut ask our middle school. Susie [/QUOTE]
