Complexities of blocking software

[Brigid <brig@INFOBLVD.NET>]

Our school uses Bess to block out unwanted site.  This is a paradox, as you
can go to yahoo and find very vivid unwanted words that it does not filter
out!
My question:  if your school uses Bess, and you come to a website that
offers educational merit but for some reason is blocked, do you have the
authority to type in the override password in order to access the site, or
does the site need to be submitted to the Network Administrator to be
considered for unblocking? No one seems to know the answer to this one!
Thanks in advance,
