ames Gates, a recently retired computer science teacher, thinks simple ignorance lies behind many school districts’ decisions to block access to social media sites. (...) he notes most school districts in his area of south central Pennsylvania block all blogs. (...). Other administrators may point to the potential for inappropriate contact between educators and students. “Some teachers can take 50 kids over to Europe for 10 days, but they can’t [communicate with students through social networks]. It drives me crazy.”
