Question on Quora:

Are Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons appropriate for K-8 students to use? stepcarefully.gif

Obviously not completely, but then again, neither is the Internet in general.

Now I think they have selective Internet filters that allow parents or schools to block certain pages (such as Wikipedia's pornography article) but just like any filter for any purpose, kids are smart enough to get around them if they're really horny.
