D#3,HW#5 Audience analysis

One group that I would like to focus on as I conduct my research is the discourse community involved with elementary schools. This particular audience will have very diverse backgrounds and educational levels. The parents and teaching staff have strong positions about the issue, because they want to protect the children. They want to know about what the children are experiencing at school. I would like them to understand the limitations of filtering software, and the ways people have to get around the filters. The community also needs to know that the children in schools will be exposed to unpleasantness on the Web, and should be prepared to deal with it when it occurs.
