I work in tech for a school district. Just the other day, a request came in to unblock a Morse code learning website. Initially I was hesitant as, I was concerned kids could harass one another using codes. I was surprised to find a nicely built educational site- https://morsefree.com/

I am not sure I would worry much about harassment via Morse code. It wouldn't be a source of new bullying in the way a social media site would be, so I can't imagine how it could make anything worse

I've seen a story of HS kids 'cheating' by having one kid brodacast test answers via tapping their pencil, which worked until the teacher who knew Morse code realized what was going on and put a stop to it.

Providing an avenue that students could (and almost certainly would) use to direct slurs at one another, seems like a surefire way to make things worse. I do share your concerns about social media.

If you even had to think about if a site like this is appropriate for teenagers, the problem isn't kids harassing each other.

I would love it if schools would focus on actually preparing our kids for the real world rather than pretending it doesn’t exist.
