US School Curriculum to Include Online Safety? 137
Stony Stevenson writes to mention that the US National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) is pushing for school's to include cyber-security, online safety, and ethics lessons in their normal curriculum. "The National School Boards Association reported that 96 per cent of school districts claim that at least some of their teachers assign homework requiring internet use. But there is still no formal education on how to stay safe, secure and ethical online, despite the fact that the internet, like the real world, has threats and dangers which students may come across in the normal course of a day. These include communications from identity thieves, online predators and cyber-bullies."

I second the motion. Judging from what I've seen kids right, I can only come to the conclusion that a majority of them don't know how to spell even the simplist of words.
Forget about the their/there/they're confusion. It's getting so bad, that I have to sometimes sound out the mish-mash of syllables they've put together in order to understand what word they intended to write.
Invyrowmentill. I swear to Cthulhu, I once saw that! The English language is DOOMED!!!
