[LM_NET] FW: Target : Does Your School Allow USB Flash Drives to Be Used on School Computers

["Fourie, Danville" <dfourie@CITYSCHOOLS.COM>]

Why on earth did the school administration decide that? We are gradually
moving away from floppies.  All the new computers only have the USB
drives.  So, if students work at home they safe their work onto the
USB's, come to school and finish it here.  The students also can not
download games, music, etc.  If they do, their student account is
blocked, until the administrator opens it again.

School Computers

I was amazed when there was a target letter asking if your school sells
USB Flash Drives in the student store. My school has disabled student
computers from being able to use USB Flash drives, so it would be
pointless to sell them. So, my target question is: Does your school
allow USB flash drives to be used by the students.
Please let me know. 
I will post a summary of responses if I receive enough.
