Flashback to Safe & Smart In 2000, the National School Boards Foundation released Safe & Smart, a survey of parents and children about children's use of the Internet. At the time, parents and children alike viewed the Internet as a positive force in children's lives. Parents had a balanced view of the threats and benefits presented by the Internet: While they expressed concerns about online safety, parents also said they want their children to be on the Internet learning and communicating. Today, nine out of 10 school leaders are concerned and vigilant about online safety. Most are responding to legislative mandates and other pressures to protect children from negative influences. More than 90 percent of districts surveyed have installed filtering software. And 78 percent report that teacher supervision is a central part of their response to safety and security issues. More than two-thirds (69 percent) have installed firewalls to protect their networks. Fifty-eight percent have school honor codes for students who use the Internet.
