Internet policies, card games, etc.

LM_NETTERS:
Our Internet AUP states that Internet use is a privilege not a right and
it is for educational purposes according to the curriculum.  How are you
all interpreting educational purposes to include surfing, playing cards
and games, using chat rooms, ordering free items.  We are getting
students who just want to "play" on the computers and teachers who send
them without a set purpose.  So, they may really have to do research and
end up playing cards and listening to rap music.  What is the answer to
this?  We can't hire a full-time person to direct students.  Do you set
rules on what they can do or need a note from a teacher or how do you
handle it?  I'm glad to see the kids so motivated.  I'd like to be able
to teach them something.  Yet it is not so easy when they have no
assignment.  Please email me directly.  Thank you.  Darlene DeHudy
