24. Don't care about privacy, It's the RESTRICTIONS
Edited on Mon Jan-15-07 08:58 PM by Nevernose
Teachers have the same restrictions as students do (one size fits all). It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to have a two-tiered system, and give people accessing teacher accounts more privilges than students.

This is a pain in the ass sometimes because, for instance, some of the stuff on CNN has "blog" in the address and is therefore banned as a "personal page." If I'm doing background research, geocities accounts are right out for the same reason. I'd like to do a Powerpoint presentation on Gothic architecture and art before our unit on Gothic literature, but I have to do it from home because Google Images is banned and the workarounds are a pain in the ass.

I have a list of proxies from students, but I never use them. Mostly I keep the list as blackmail.
