Hey im doing a topic on a .. persuasive essay about if myspace should be legal in schools.?

well i find it annoying myself, that myspace is blocked at schools. but i think they are going to far with the whole blocking. and i find it even more annoying and stupid that some schools [private only as far as i have heard] have been making students delete whatever blog they are using [myspace, xanga, livejournal, etc.] or they will get in major trouble with the school. myspace to me should be "legal" in schools. students are not always able to access a computer at home, and would use school for internet use, but they can't fully take advantage of that luxury because the school's don't allow it. they do tho allow hi5 at my school. so there are always alternatives. you could talk about alternative sites that you can go to on your school's computers.

There's two different ways you could look at it. You could say myspace should be blocked in schools, and you can also say myspace shouldn't be blocked in schools.

Why SHOULD IT BE BLOCKED?

1. SEXUAL PREDATORS

2. DATING SOURCE

WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE BLOCKED?

1. YOU COULD FIND HELP THERE W/ SCHOOL WORK

2. ITS JUST SOMEWHERE FOR TEENS TO LOOK AROUND

3. ITS JUST FOR FUN

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES I HOPE THEY HELP YOU.

I'm not a huge fan of the "Oh noes there are peadophiles on the Internets and they're going to get my kids!" argument against Myspace, but I don't have a problem with it being blocked in school.

Fact: although there have been some well-publicised cases of stalking and drug dealing on Myspace, the same can be said for the telephone, email, pagers, text messaging, and any other method where two people communicate with each other.

Fact: despite all its benefits, Myspace doesn't really offer anything educational (at least, not the type of educational they want you to learn in school).

Fact: school computers are paid for by tax dollars that are earmarked for education. Makes sense that you should be encouraged to use them for educational purposes, right?

Fact: cell phones, another communication tool, are banned from many (most?) schools because they are a disruption to learning. If cell phones - which aren't owned by the school - can be regulated, then doesn't it make sense the school should be able to regulate the content available on their own computers as well?

Those would be points I would bring up, if it were my paper.
