It’s really annoying, I receive about 100 spam comments per day and I am not at all proud of it. Something ought to be done. I have Akismet which is a spam filter and to date, it has caught 55,734 spam comments. But I keep going through my moderation list so as to not miss out people’s comments.
A couple of legitimate comments does get caught once in a while. Maybe they should add spam into the school syllabus or something. We have CME in secondary school I remember. It’s Civics and Moral Education. It’s pretty outdated during my time and they spend much of the syllabus trying to tell you what type of festivals the Indians go to then discuss the technology-related issues.
I thought some time might be allocated to discuss about plagiarism, intellectual property, spam, Windows Live Messenger nudges, forwarding emails with curses and stuff. Maybe some internet related issues may be covered at school.

I think some schools do talk about internet safety and flaming blogs,(plus of course if you talk about racist stuff you go to jail). But I don’t think schools will actually add spam into the CME syllabus. Haha btw, CME in my school is now called Values Education. A chim-mer name for it. (laughs)

by Jesslyn! (: (Feb 11, 2007 at 10 AM)Em..agreed with your post. Nowadays schools really need to teach the student the internet rules. no more what type of festivals the Indians and etc.
Like what Jesslyn siad in the above comment, some school told their student not to blog bad about school and etc.
Anyway, I don’t have CME now. The school took it away to shorten our school hours? Anyway, even if have CME, teachers will replace it with compo writting, math test or History lesson >
by cockroach (Feb 11, 2007 at 7 PM)Ah shucks, they should add that spam is evil in the syllabus. I think we should have more freedom to express opinions, not to defame people of course. It’s Values Education now? Do they still talk about Indian customs and Chinese festivals?
cockroach: Another cousin of mine had this problem too. His teacher replaced CME or Values Education to a Mathematics or History lesson. It’s a pity really. It’s one of more important subjects and it’s nice to just put away your formulae to relax for an hour.
