Public Sticky notes

One of the questions concerned Acceptable Use Policies and the ramifications of parents failing or unwilling to sign them, so I wanted to sort of rehash my answer here.

So, as long as we viewed the Internet as extra-curricular, the idea of an contract-based AUP worked just fine

This is a very important point. The ongoing frustration of trying to teach when students don't have signed AUPs has led me to lobby for an opt out type system as I don't see moving from an AUP in our district. Often the parents and/or the kid have just forgotten the paper work not that there is a legitimate reason for restricting a student.

Implement the curriculum including the Internet, whether or not the AUP has been signed.

What I am saying is the principles in those AUP's need to be moved into the school's discipline code and schools need to retroactively punish students for violations just as we do for any other disciplinary violations

I think we need to look at consequences - problem is usually we restrict access - is this the best recourse?

what happens when the Internet IS the textbook?
