PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
I was teaching my fifth grade class about using their resources. Since a project on Washington, D.C. was due the next week I suggested the computer as a logical place to research the nations capital. I went to say "just try different things. You could type in www.whitehouse.com and get some good information."
I got three parent phone calls that night. Who knew that www.whitehouse.com is a porn site! I do now! Careful how you use your resources!

This used to be a porn site - I did the same thing when looking for something for my son's project. Glad they changed it. I'm sure lots of children saw more than they had expected on a whitehouse site.

It was on the news like three years ago that it was a porn site! It's not anymore, for the very reason you specified in your post.

Same kind of thing happened to me. I told my classs of second graders to pick an animal to research for a project. I don't have to tell you what happened when two children picked the beaver! I got a couple of calls that night, myself! It's a sign of the times. We just have to be so careful. Fortunately, the parents that called me were understanding but just wanted to keep me informed.
