The young people may not listen but every school and institution dealing with them advises careful consideration of what information they post online. Yet, log on and do even basic research seeking information about schools or education and you can be startled by the reams of collateral personal information readily available. A few quick searches and you can find endless details about students – which school they go to, what their parents do, their favourite food, what they liked best about camp, their favourite book, individual scores on general knowledge tests and when and where they play sport. Some even tell you what school bus they catch, where it stops and what time they get on.
