Very thematic P--real life

[Thomas Beshear]

It's up to parents, especially, to push back against efforts like this. Go 
to board meetings, raise hell. If that doesn't work, run for school board. 
(Some parents, unfortunately, like the idea of knowing where little Johnny 
is every minute of the day.) This treatment of kids is pernicious -- one of 
the drawbacks of social networking sites is that they create a lesser 
expectation of privacy, at least among one's peers (social circle). These 
things chip away at privacy -- of course, when they grow up and enter the 
job market, some of these kids find their web writings and photos used 
against them by potential employers.
