I would like to see every parent either directly - if they are comfortable with the technology - or through a personal tutor, being able to access real-time information about their child.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Technologically we can deliver the ability of parents to be able to log into a school intranet, be able to see what homework has been set or look at lesson planning, whether the child is attending, see what the timetable is like, all of that is possible and there are some schools that are doing it already.
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them.
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
If you look where kids are spending time on the Net, they may have all the information in the world, but they're not accessing it.
What I'm doing is trying to get kids to pay attention, to look at the physical world more, and to question everything. I am trying to get kids out of the house and away from screens.
I am very much interested in getting parents to read to children, and trying to get people mentoring children. If I can do both I'll be happy.
Being able to see an activity log of where a kid has been going on the Internet is a good thing.
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
My mother's parents died when I was quite young, so I would like to be able to go back and know those people as an adult.
