Peter, Please!

This website was given to me by one of the fourth graders at the school in which I work. Although that may be a combination of both bad and good, the truth is that almost every other fourth grader joined in the conversation about how many times they have fooled their friends using this website. www.peteranswers.com. On this site, you ask an imaginary tarot reader to answer your questions. I realize that this may be beyond our age group, but the conversation turned into all of the kids telling me how they have had a myspace since 2nd grade, while some of the first graders explained their time spent on you tube. Is this a scary realization to anyone else? I mean, I have seen many a you tube video, and in all honesty, is that what we want our first graders "accidentally" clicking on while browsing the internet? Come on people, parental controls, please!

I disagree with your opinion. I feel it is necessary for young children to see what it is like to be tasered so they don't break the law later on in their lives.
