I know it is tempting for some, especially for those who do not understand, or even feel comfortable with new technology. It is the work of people like you Dean that prevents such irrational decision making. I agree with Rob it is great to have some decent data to use in discussion with staff and parents.

Zero percent risk at schools is obviously not possible when, sadly, there are rare cases of abuse by teachers.
