  1. It good because so no student want go to natived sites.They wiil go fighting sites.When there alot of blood.Or they wil go to sites of naked people.Final they will go to sites to talk to someone else.
    The bad thing of blocking sites.You can use some that blocked work.Or you can talk to the teaher for some reason.You can look at videos to watch something when with your work.Final it can help in good ways.

  3. Its good to block the sites because kids go on stuff that they don't need to go on. When they are on the computer instead of doing they work they go on a website thats not appropiate for school.
    Its bad to blockade the sites because if you try to get some information for your work or project, they won't be able to get it because they blockade the sites.

    Schools have to protect their students from certian people and things on the computer. In order to do that they are going to have to block some sites. But they dont need to block all sites. Only things that are explecit like sexual preditors or sexual sites period. Thats way i respect the decision to block SOME sites.
    But in some cases i think that its just to out of hand because they blocked certain sites that doesnt do any harm to see, watch, or hear. Like some music sites would let you listen to parently advised music but others doesnt have profound languages. You can watch shows that are rated pg 13 or rated R, it all depends on what you are trying to do because the internet is for everyone even student

  5. The good thing about blocking some websites.Is for the students wont go to a iappropriate websites. For they can get away without getting in trouble or get away without doing there work.

    The bad thing about it is that. They block the websites the teachers can use to do a lesson. Youtube is not a bad site if there account age is below 18 and then they wont be able to look at the inappropriate things or they could get in trouble if the teacher caught them doing something or lose there computer privileges

    Well from What I'd think is that the pros had blocked several internets sites on the computer. The reason why they do that is because they to set an example of other's such as the little ones.The pros always do something that's positive.

    What I Think & say about the cons is that not all cons do something that do negative stuff all the time because 9/10 the cons would be expose by it & once they expose by it for the first time then they'll start going to sites that they should'nt be in.

  7. The pros about the situation is that the students dont get on sites that they dont get on sites they arent soposed to be on. A nother pro is if the student does get tempted to get on the site it will be blocked. ALso the students wont gossip on the computer. Irealy dont like the that the school blocked alot of sites. Now there is nothing really to go on.

    A con about the school blocking the sites is that the students might have a possitive about the school to get information off of. The school is really sucking the fun out of every thing. Also another con is what if the we dont even get on the site they just did it for nothing.

  8. in my opinion I think that the blocked sites should be blocked, because if the students need to go on a blocked site then they should go to the teacher and ask permission or gain access form the teacher to go on the site before just going onto the site by themselves.

    For my second paragraph I think that the student that wants/needs to go onto a blocked website should be reviewed by the board of the school and the teacher to gain access to the site, but for now the sites that are blocked should not be opened/accessed without a teacher by their side,also the sites that the student wants to gain access to they should either do so at home or elsewhere.

    For my conclusion of this assignment the sites that are blocked should not be opened by the students in the school but at home or if they have the teacher going on the sites with them then that should be fine if it's approved.

    The pros of the school having blocked Internet sites are to keep them from harm such as; rapes, viruses, and to keep them on track. As I stated there are rappers out on these sites looking for some underage students to make an encounter with. They also go on website that gives off viruses that desirous the computer. Also I think it’s to keep us on what were suppose to be doing.
    The cons of the blocked sites are that we know what we’re doing and we’ve also been on it before. If we've been on the site before why not?
