There are predators on the Internet was the basis of her reply (she was afraid for her children), in addition to a fear of losing control over her privacy. How do we, as teachers who have embraced the use of the internet, respond to such expressions of fear? If we read the papers or listen to District Attorneys (e...

http://strangethoughtsbyjohn.blogspot.com/2014/06/i-dodged-question.html
Dr John Strange's Strange Thoughts. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. I Dodged the Question. In the previous post to this one I replied to a post by William Chamberlain.
