I don't like the idea of an internet permit, but I do agree with the idea that users should be taught internet safety. About 20 years ago I volunteered at the library and taught such a class, but only recently have I seen such classes as part of workplace training. It should probably be something that is taught in schools, as well. Or maybe it is covered now and I just don't know?

It was loosely covered in school when I went. We had some basic stuff even in middle school (20+ years ago) about use anti-virus, don't click links from unknown sources, etc. If schools aren't teaching the basics, then that could be a big security hole for the district. At the least, it reduces the protection of defense in depth and forces the school to wholly rely on systems to protect the network, when users are often the "in".
