Hello All,

Well, well, well, what to do?  Our school has AUP policies signed by
parents and students.  The violaters of the AUP have been taken on a case
by case basis regarding disciplinary action.  For the most part, as a
consequence, violators have lost their Internet privileges for that school
year.  This has been going worked well until recently.  Are your violators
given a shorter suspension from privileges?

Here is the twist we are now encountering and I am requesting feedback on:

When our only source of Internet hookups were in the LMC in open labs, it
was much easier to monitor activity.  We are rapidly adding labs that are
online as well as classroom stations thoughout our building.  Also, many
teachers are requiring the use of the Internet in order to accomplish the
goals of the class.

So, if any of you are experiencing this,this is my big question:  how are
you then handeling those students who have lost their Internet privileges?

My building principal as well as myself and the other LMS feel we cannot
deny an education to a student.  We certainly can't prohibit a student from
resources needed to accomplish the required assignments.

Ideas we have been knocking around:

Teacher creating an alternative/modified assignment

Teacher/LMS/Paraprofessional sitting beside the student as they are working
on the Internet

I'd be glad to hear any suggestions.
