This is the blog of the Dayton Daily News editorial page. Regular contributors include the journalists who work on the two-page section labeled "Opinions" in the paper. But the blog is also a forum for readers. We comment on subjects that are being written about in the newspaper, but other subjects are fair game, too.
Ellen Belcher is the Dayton Daily News opinion pages editor. She writes about state government, education, the environment, higher education and all things Dayton.
Martin Gottlieb is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He focuses on the political process itself and does such national issues as war, the economy, taxes and Social Security, as well as a hodge-podge of local and state issues.
Scott Elliott is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He writes about education, city and suburban issues, politics, business, workforce and consumer issues.

I hope you write about the dangers of naive young people on the internet and how some ‘seasoned’ hackers obtain personal information. So many young folks don’t seem to be aware of the dangers lurking online or how to protect their personal information like home address and stuff like that.

Perhaps schools should get back to concentrating on educational matters and allow social issues to be handled by social agencies. If students do not want to participate in normal classroom scenarios or disrupt the learning process of others; they should be dealt with by a social agency, not an educational agency. Special Education could be consolidated so there is not duplication between districts or schools. No more alternative schools for “misfits” or psychologists for students with psychological needs. Children do spend 9% of their time in school and 91% elsewhere; and that elsewhere may not be a positive, encouraging, intact family that promotes positive educational goals. Teachers can not correct that deficiency and these may be the students that present obstacles to others that are in class striving to accomplish their educational goals.
