If your child is supervised on the internet and doesn't have a tablet, and mine isn't and does, and my child showed your child stuff you disapproved of while in school, would you complain to the school?

Because some parents would.

Then your child could simply download the content at home and show it at school without internet connection.

Parent would still complain.

The solution isn't to play helicopter-parent because other parents might helicopter even more.

> Because some parents would.

Some parents complain about sex ed and vaccination, satisfying the lowest common denominator doesn't really work.

If some kid showed actually NSF-School images, such as nudity, to other kids and it was a first time offense a warning should suffice. If it's a repeated offense then maybe the kid needs psychological help.

Just as a hypothetical scenario, there's the possibility that a kid shows others a picture of for example Michelangelo's David (or similar art piece), do you think that kid should be punished for showing nudity to other kids?
