The National Association of Independent Schools online magazine recently posted an extremely well done and frank article on what it is like for the current generation of teenage students to walk the tightrope of living both online and offline lives. The article is a must read, even if you think your kids are smart enough to be careful with what they say and do online. Based on some of the most current research and the author’s own experiences, the article discusses how technology has made students’ online and offline lives converge, especially at school, and details the added stress it places on the current generation. The author, Catherine Steiner-Adair, urges schools and parents to be proactive in helping kids bridge the ever widening gap between the two worlds of online and offline living.
