Why? Probably because some student who wasn't doing their work was playing on that instead and teach saw them, said "No, No, No" and went to the office and told them to tell the district *cue ear bleeding raspy teacher voice* "THIS WEBSITE HAS GAMES THAT WERE DITRACTING ONE OF MY OVER HUNDRED STUDENTS SO I WANT IT BAN BECUASE IT IS PREVENTING EDUCATION!!!" What can school board do? Either block it because it prevented education of someone who clearly didn't care enough to get that education in he first place OR block it because it prevents education. You did your work so now you can have a little fun but what's this? It's BLOCKED. Scenario: You finished your work in a coding or computer science class when you wanna go play something on CoolMathgames.Com. In other words, anything that disagrees with their ideals, religion, etcetera. Fifth, it mutes this so-called freedom of speech we Americans have, by allowing the small amount of people at a school to block whatever the heck they feel is inappropriate. If somebody wanted, they could just put a bunch of porn or games on a Weebly site, and manage to get past the school blocks because if they blocked Wikia or Weebly, they would be blocking important tools for every subject. Fourth, there are several sites that can't be blocked.
The other, maybe, five percent of blocks, are fine, things like Pornhub and junk. I cant though, because the good one is blocked. For example, I just tried to go on a D&D wiki to find a sheet to homebrew a class. They all seem to either be game sites, music sites, or even sites that even have information about games. Third, most of the sites blocked are in one of three categories. Most providers nowadays even provide data connection, allowing them to get past the blocks because they aren't using school internet. For example, going to a wiki site, or using their phone. Second, people will just find ways around these blocks anyways. Very rarely do classes not based on the use of a computer go and use them. Firstly, most people on a computer in a classroom have either finished their work, or are in a class they WANT to be in, due to the subject, meaning they are going to get their work done, most likely. Now, some blocks are acceptable, mainly against pornographic websites, but blocking things educational or entertainment based is just not right. In such a situation, I should be allowed to go on any site I want, within reason. For example, let's just say I finish all my work on a period I work at a computer, and the teacher doesn't have any new work posted yet. I may be a student, but that doesn't mean my opinion isn't true.
