Reply To: BT wants to raise children without internet access…

PBS may be educational, but many of its programs may not be suitable for young children.

If you do not have internet in your home and are taking online courses, you can complete the online portions in places such as libraries/bookstores/ coffee shops/ restaurants. Many places have free wi-fi for their customers who choose to do these thing, also the textbook portions can be read in one’s own home.

I am talking about all children under the age of 18/ who have not graduated high school yet.

DaasYochid: Many rabbonim have also acknowledged that even though it is the ideal to not have internet in one’s home and for children to not have access to it, that the reality is that for many people that it is not practical. This includes a few prominent rabbonim. That does not mean that we should not aspire to do what we can to protect ourselves. Even if that means just getting Norton on our computers to simply just block adult and gambling websites and allow ourselves to access anything else- Norton internet filter is free of charge.
