The evils of craigslist.com in the hands of 5th graders

Today I substituted 5th graders. No easy feat. They are working on a project where each group is given one million dollars (add Dr. Evil accent for emphasis) and has the task of creating a non-profit organization. Sounded like a pretty fun task until we went to the computer lab and jumped on the computers. Running around and monitoring 20-something screens was no easy task. Especially when they had to research offices and warehouses for their projects. I had the brilliant idea of having them go on to craigslist.com. After about two minutes, I quickly realized that a few of them had "point and clicked" into the dangerous territories of personal ads and "domestic" help. Needless to say, Craigslist.com ended right there. I can only pray that this little event hasn't spread to administration.
