For a time our access to home email was blocked until I told the techies
that sometimes students have no other way to transfer assignments that they
have worked on at home to their folders on the school computer. They email
assignments to themselves and then pick them up at school and save them
here. Students now have access to home email.

Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student.
Everyone is a teacher.

Our Internet is set to block anything with the word "mail" in it.  For
instance, we cannot look up the definition of "mail" on the Alabama Virtual
Library.  We cannot go to the U. S. Postal Service web site and click on the
link that tells you how to package "mail."  When we are on a site that allow
you to email someone on that site, we are denied the privilege of clicking
on the "email" link.  We always get a screen that says "Organizational
Policies Prohibit Access to this Site."  Our best guess is that our techie
has blocked this word to keep students and/or staff from accessing home
email accounts.  Still, that is going a little far, don't you think?  We are
not allowed to do any unblocking ourselves.  We are required to request
permission from the techie to get the site/link unblocked.  It is a lot of
trouble!
