Proctor High School bans blogging

A story in Tuesday's Rutland Herald — via Jessamyn at librarian.net — reports that Principal Chris Sousa banned blogging from Proctor High School computers. He says blogs aren't educational.

I think he's got a very valid point about monitoring how much personal information a kid (or anyone, for that matter) puts on the web. But Jessamyn points to this link, noting that blogs can be a great educational tool, as well. It's all in how you use it. You can ban loud music that offends you, or you can teach kids how to make their own music. I'm for making yer own whenever possible.
Comments:
It sounds like they are throwing away a chance to use blogging to their advantage. Seems like they could blogging in a class, say science or english, and actually grade them on it. Many lessons could be learned.
