"Stop the Social Networking, Students"

A principal in New Jersey has asked parents of the school's students to voluntarily talk to their children about the danger of social networking sites (i.e. Facebook). He also asks them to take their children off of these sites and tells them how they can do this. So why is he doing this? I thought the following paragraph from his letter to the parents says it all, though I found the high percentage a bit shocking.

Meredith Wearly, the school's guidance counselor, said about 75 percent of her day is spent dealing with social networking issues with students.


75%! Wow! To read the whole letter go here.
