Senior Joe Brussel, with his purple Burton backpack slung over his right shoulder, cell phone clipped to his tan cargo shorts, strolls into Frank Mandernach's advanced auto-mechanics class--late but relaxed. The rest of the class is already in the lab room, watching a student take apart a 1987 truck engine. Joe makes eye contact with Mandernach, settles into a chair out of sight of most of his classmates and pulls out a notebook. "Sometimes Mandernach just lets us get organized," he says.

...under 13 ? say, from a toy company?s site ? must be accompanied by parental consent. The form of consent will vary depending on what the marketers intend to do with the information; if it?s for that toy company?s sole consumption, a e-mail and a follow-up phone call to the parents will fulfill the requirements. If, however, the company plans to pass the information on to another party (usually some sort of marketing group, for a steep price) a more formal notification of consent will be required, like a letter via regular mail, a fax or another...
