[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember the exact same behavior in the 80s when I was in middle school and I attended a private school. [/quote]

Seriously doubt that people were treating teachers the same way.  I certainly never saw it.[/quote]

Many things happened that you never saw. This isn't a comment on you personally, it's a comment on the limits of one person's personal experience with respect to society.[/quote]
+1  never saw anyone taking drugs in HS, but I know it happened because someone I know was completely high on coke when I met up with them, and I saw weed being sold in class once.  Another person asked me where she could get some weed.  I had no clue because I never took drugs, but I assume this person found some weed eventually and smoked it.

As for porn, please.. we had dirty magazines that could be passed around.[/quote]

Oh, the porn is at a whole other level now.

Are you serious?  Dirty magazines?  LOL. That is tame.  Ask your middle schooler about the websites the kids talk about at school.  If your kid is honest, it will be eye-opening what they are exposed to.  [/quote]
You do know that there were pretty hardcore dirty magazines in the 80s right? And porn videos?

Anyways, I'm all for curtailing porn, but what do you want to have happen? Even if they ban phones in MS you realize that kids meet outside of school grounds, right?  Unless you ban your kid from having a phone or hanging out with kids who have phones, your kid is going to get exposed at one point. Good luck.[/quote]

Personally, I think some of the hardcore websites should be harder to get to.  I mean, there is basically free, easy access to pretty questionable material.

I’m not against porn, but I am required to put in my birthday to verify my age before I look at alcohol websites.  Hardcore porn?  Free for all ages.

Maybe make the porn sites all require payment.  Shut down the ones that offer access for free.  Could be a start.  [/quote]
