“So, why aren’t you going to prom?” asked one father of his high school daughter.
“Because I’m chaste, while most girls that boys want to go out with, aren’t.”

Fascinating exchange and darn surreal…the perspectives of one teen make me wonder what’s real and what’s just in her head. Yet, if reality is accurately portrayed (no reason to doubt it, especially when you read this and this) It comes to mind when I read Justin’s (The EdJurist) post about newspapers and their fascination with what constitutes “the news” (sexting) which these days ends up being just about negative stuff:

Maybe we should let newspapers die.

There’s another AP sexting story all over the country’s newspapers today. It was not responding to any particular event that just happened yesterday, they just ran one to run one and local papers picked it up.

This is a big part of why schools are struggling with technology. The newspapers just keep pushing the angle until they make every last penny off scaring people away from this stuff.

Instead of printing what’s happening, news continues to filter what they see as will sell newspapers (more sexting). I wonder when it will occur to them that their filter is garbage.

Are you ready to what works, or what you used to work and you still feel comfortable with? I’m not sure I am!
