I swear, my school is stupid.

So, I'm here sitting in computer apps. This site is my only source to anything Runescape and entertainment at school. My school blocks so much crap, it's insane. Even some educational sites are blocked because they have a word they don't think is suitable. I can't even get access to some of the threads on here because they have a word they don't find suitable.

 

 

 

Well, anyway, sometime last week, the schools internet was down for a few days. Didn't bother me at all, but as soon as it's back up, I come here and notice no pictures showing up. I tried rick clicking where a picture would be, and nothing.

 

 

 

MY SCHOOL BANNED IMAGESHACK AND PHOTOBUCKET!

 

 

 

How lame is that?

Wow school doesn't want you to use their internet, provided for education use, for internet gaming and browsing game forums and viewing possible inappropiate pictures uploaded to imageshack? Omgs quick you must go on strike!

Both the computer classes I have, I have an A+ in. They are easy classses and I'm on here in my down time. I'm not some little middle schooler being here when I should be working(which I've seen many times), I get free time, I come here.

 

 

 

I have a photobucket account and I've had to use it for school several times but now they go and block them so anything I see photobucket or imageshack related, it won't show.

 

 

 

I've never found inappropriate content on either of those sites. and now I can't.

 

 

 

Yes it blocks Runescape too. has for the past two years. I'm fine with it, I just like to come here when I can to find out about updates and see what's new.

 

 

 

It's just so inconvientent with the stuff they block, and how their filter works.

No, I never said I wanted to play RS at school. The only time I did that was when I first started(2001) and when the RS2 Beta came out.

 

 

 

I like to come here as it's something to do, something to read that intrests me when I have down time. It's just annoying though when somone makes a interesting post with pictures, and I can't see the pictures. :(

 

 

 

Like yesterday, I was reading a post about prayer time with bonuses and what to wear, killing green dragons and what not in the General P2P section, and I guese there were pictures, but I couldn't see them, becasue my school blocked out a site I've had to use for school several times in the first place.

 

 

 

I understand they want to block stuff, but some stuff just seems irelevent(sp?) to block.

 

There have been several sites on the school website that are "abroved" but can't be accessed because of the weird school blocking system.

The Internet is a privilege you have while you're at school. Its provided for educational use, no matter what grades you might have in your classes. You being on the internet could slow down the connection for people trying to do legitimate research or other educational activites on the internet or you could accidently infect the computer with a virus or spyware by visiting a site you didn't realize was dangerous. It doesn't matter the reason. You are given free Internet at school for educational purposes. If you want to do something not school related, deal with the restrictions they make or wait till you get home. Your logic consists of nothing more than "because I don't like it" and frankly, that doesn't matter.

Good job. When you're at school you're at school. Play Runescape and analyze pixel signatures in your own time.

I second that. If they blocked Google Imags and still expected you to use it for a research project and you used a proxy and got in trouble, that would be something different (happened to me :D)

Did you try Yahoo! images? My school proxied Google image search as well but we could use Yahoo! That seems to be a problem of communication with the teachers...if the teacher doesn't check into it and make sure their assignments are plausible. :P

You're right, the internet doesn't have any educational tools at all. I haven't done countless of research for papers on the internet before... :roll:

So tell me... all you people against me, You've NEVER gone somewhere on the net while at school that wasn't school related?

 

 

 

No, I never said that. In fact, I'm at school right now. My point is that I understand there are blocks and they are their for good reason, therefore I don't complain about it. Break the rules all you want, I'm not criticizing you for that (because we all do it either at work or school) - but don't complain about the restrictions. The internet isn't there for leisure time, so if you use it for that, shut up and play by their rules.
