Explanation:
Safety, especially the safety of our students, might be the number one concern for parents and educators alike. We must teach our children how to be safe on a playground and how to be safe in a chatroom. Our students must be able to protect their privacy, and are responsible for respecting the privacy of others. As a parent and a teacher, the number of dangers in this world are overwhelming. It is my job to teach my children how to protect themselves and others. For me, that conversation must start early. Our students aren’t waiting until middle school and high school to interact with strangers, in person or online. Starting conversations about proper precautions and procedures online is an essential part of citizenship that must begin as early as conversations about crossing the street and not answering the door for strangers.
