In the article it’s the Parents’ Fault. Not. What matters is whose responsibility it is to teach kids about the danger of Internet sights like myspace or facebook. In the article the author has a conversation with a principle from a high school. The principle states that he thinks that it is the parents’ responsibility to warn their kids, and therefore it is the parents’ fault that kids get into so much trouble. The author however states that it is the schools job to educate kids and that means on everything, from math to Internet dangers. The author suggests that schools should start teaching kids about the danger in first grade so that they never even get into sights like myspace. But I would ask that if it is the schools job to teach kids everything then why would we even have parents? No schools are responsible for teaching kids academic subjects like math and English, and while there is no problem with schools warning kids of these things. It is the parents job to make sure their kids know about the world and know what is right and what is wrong. Therefore it is the parents fault and their responsibility.
