The filtering software makes it hard to even get legit work done at school. For example, you could be looking up interesting landforms for a geography project and find some interesting link, only to have it blocked for being "uncategorised".

If students really wanted to play games or whatnot, they could easily bring stuff from home on a USB mass storage device..

But then, if they had no filters at all, there would be panicking parents showing up at the admin office complaining about it. Filtered internet is still better than no internet at all. =/

You should see my school's internet - There's a certain word that allows any page! You simply need the word somewhere in the url and the page can be accessed

The word is 'smith' by the way. But I doubt it would work for any other schools. (e.g. vtunnel.com?smith would make the website usable! Well you don't even need to use vtunnel at my school if you know the trick (which I independently discovered))

The school filter system here is so advanced! It blocks almost everything, even Proxy Avoidance. It really sucks because it evolves. They update it every now and then. Will someone post something that works?

I agree that the school blocking system sucks, I'm a senior and I watched it take place when MSN was blokked. Now all games are blocked, if using google and typing games it will not allow any games found on that page to open, any hostile sites are blocked within days and sometimes hours. Freedom is not a part of school anymore.

Going to school is like living in Japan everything is Sensored

why do they block evrything
School's Blocking System.

my school blocks almost everything.. And I don't get it.. When we have to do reserchis for a school we can barely get on anything to get the information...And about the onlythings they don't block is yahoo, yahoomail and youtube, why no those ones people could easily get on yahoo and have people email them there just like myspace so why block it??

I think that if kids arent aloud to check their email then teachers shouldnt be aloud to either. Thats not fair to us kids. So I think that kids should have the same freedoms as teachers do just cause there older doesnt mean there the boss of us. I believe that kids only truly have two bosses and thats their mom and dad so there for u really don't have to listen to your teachers lol-reply by kristine collins

I really hate my schools blocking system! It really annoys me becuase they block everything even those site that aren't atleast that bad...

[iGuest]

do schools really think this is helping, they have blocked the wrong sites but now even the right sites are being blocked, I think the government has gone to far and should think more carefully about how this is effecting our education, all they are doing is making us hate them more, if they really want our attention then they should be a little more carefully about there decisions

My school had myspace, facebook, and other networking sites filtered. I've tried anonymous surfing those sites that goes through proxies or whatever. i understand that the school computers are for education purposes so I don't really bother. To be suspended for logging on to myspace? not worth it. hehe
