Reaction to Student Standards
These standards covered what I figured they would and more. I remember taking a sort of Internet 101 session run by our librarians when I was in high school (early 2000s) and the first thing we learned was "digital citizenship." I don't remember calling it that, but it's a good place to start for kids.

Otherwise we'd have essays full of sources like "Creationism versus Evolutionism by Jonny, age 8" or, heaven forbid, Wikipedia! Actually I love Wikipedia. It may not be right all the time, but it's right often enough for me. Except this one time I viewed the page on "Mormonism" and every time it should have said "Mormon" or "Mormonism" someone had replaced these with "Moron" and "Moronism," respectively.
