Question for anyone in the VA school systems: re:internet safety.

So, my 2nd grader came home from school on Friday telling us about some disturbing things he'd seen / searched on his school Chromebook.

Evidently whem he and his buddies finish school work early, the teacher lets them on Chromebooks completely unsupervised. This amounts to 2-3 hours everyday.

What he told us he searched was one thing, but most disturbing to me: he logged in to his account and the county has turned off search history and disabled the ability to apply parental controls?

Someone tell me a defensible justification for turning off a 2nd graders search history?

Also, neither my 2nd grader nor kindergartener has ever been given a lesson on internet safety.

Well, I had the occasional behavior report ** -- TomTurkey 03/21/2022 1:07PM

Same in Albemarle County. We definitely can (and do) check history on -- s.mill hokie 03/21/2022 11:20AM

In Mont Co, VA...all the kids have their own chromebooks... -- JoesterVT 03/20/2022 10:22PM

School systems have an impossible task in today’s society. -- VT Pops 03/20/2022 10:21PM

Im more concerned that instead of recess or teaching to the level -- hokiehunter07 03/20/2022 10:50PM

Sounds like the school system has decided it’s your child’s parents. -- RoswellGAHokie 03/20/2022 10:10PM

LBH, some other parent probably complained about it logging history ** -- jmanatVT 03/21/2022 10:12AM
