US Schools Get Tool to Track Students' Internet Use

Schools Get Tool to Track Students' Internet Use
Like millions of American high school students, Matthew T. Veck
spends a good deal of time on the Internet, both for 
classwork and for fun. And like any other high school student being
interviewed by a newspaper reporter on the record for a 
national publication, he says that he would never, ever look for
pornography online using his school's computers. Even if the 
Shoshone, Idaho, student's curiosity threatened to overcome his
better impulses, he says he would think twice about acting on 
his newfound interest at school, "because I know for a fact I would
be caught right away."

He knows that a not-so-big brother is watching: a software program
that alerts school administrators when their students go 
over to the Internet's wild side. So Matthew says he and his friends
do not use the school's computers for that kind of thing.
