15. Washington Post column by Justin Reich points out that web filters in schools do a great job limiting what teachers can search while not doing much to protect kids. Reich calls filters “knee-high fences around the Internet” that “may trip up older folks, but teens leap right over.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/10/AR2009071003459.html

16. ALA quotes the National Research Council whose report insightfully points out: “Swimming pools can be dangerous for children. To protect them, one can install locks, put up fences, and deploy pool alarms. All these measures are helpful, but by far the most important thing that one can do for one’s children is to teach them to swim.” http://www.lita.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/ifissues/ALA_print_layout_1_112849_112849.cfm
