Re: Tech: School Internet filtering

[Mary Ann Bell <mbell@main.com>]

An example of the results you may get will be the situation described by
Jamie McKenzie which I believe was posted to LM_Net yesterday. I would
hate to have FNO blocked. In our district, we say the best filter for a
child is the teacher. Internet access is only via teacher putting in
his/her password and then supervising student use. Only students with
parent permission who have passed a test over district Internet policies
can search even with teacher supervision. I would do my best to
discourage filtering at my school. The system in effect is working.
