I guarantee you that if you use the internet for what it was intended for - ie work - you'll find you won't get blocked very often.

If only that were true.

I tried to look up something on global warming. Site was blocked. Hiroshima, site was blocked. Nursing homes? Site was blocked. Its quite frustrating.

And bored of studies is blocked too.

Well, maybe you've just got dodgy administration at your school. Or maybe we had dodgy administration since we seemed to be able to go anywhere and do anything ...

Yes, I noticed the Serenity avatar. I also notice you didn't notice my TRAP! avatar.

However, it's probably better that I don't discuss it too much. I'm not just a Browncoat, I'm a Tragic Browncoat.

Wrong. Seriously, why comment on this new DET system when you haven't actually used it yourself and therefore have no idea what you're talking about?

It's fucking ridiculous. There is absolutely no point trying to do anything on the internet at school because 90% of the sites are blocked. It completely defeats the purpose of "research lessons" too.

haha and to think i almost remember how that was like. and then i slapped myself.

come to think of it...when i was in high school, there were a lot that was blocked though boredofstudies was not blocked. that let me print off stuff and you were supposedly meant to pay for it.

the librarians didnt care. so i didnt care either.

lesson learnt...if you think of high school when you are no longer there...SLAP yourself!

Aah school internet. I remember the days in yr 9 and 10 where we used to just play flash games and bludge in IT classes, while ignoring the teacher. Now everything's blocked, it sucks to be using the net at school now
