Pups and schools blocking therian guide

A lot of students probably don't have/can't afford their own laptops so the school has to provide them if they are expecting digital work to be done. Even my college has school-owned laptops (which they don't monitor online activity), and at this point in life, most students do have their own computers, but not all, and of course, college relies heavily on online platforms and work, a lot of which are on programs that either cost money to load onto a personal computer, or the program only works on very specific systems.

With technology in schools, of course teachers have to monitor your online activity because so many students take advantage of them. The teachers are trying to help keep students on task and help them learn and get adequate grades. That's what most of them are there for. Something else to think about: being on other sites and doing other things in class is disrespectful to the teachers, and most teachers don't get enough credit. They do a lot for students and deserve the respect of your attention and effort.

Very very true Little, teachers never get enough credit for what they do. The only thing I'll ever be mad with is Lightspeed for blocking Chicken Smoothie despite the fact that it is a family friendly website whose forums are moderated to death. Most of it doesn't even involve the forums it just happens to all be built on phpBB-
Oops, sorry for the rambling I'll stop now XP.

I agree with this. I haven't ever gotten on TG on a school computer before, though I have watched YouTube on my school account or done research on non school related things while at home. I have never violated it's purpose while at school, I follow all of the rules they set while I'm there. I never even play games on it while I'm there. My school computer has to stay at school, however I have a computer at home with my school account on it.
Overall though I am a straight A student who has never been in trouble at school before, so they have no reason to monitor me too much. Of course I am still careful and safe with what I view while on it.

The keyword in this is forum, the school shouldn't allow you to talk to strangers on the internet. They're responsible for your safety and a lot of kids your age don't take your own safety seriously.

That's a very good point. I'm not gonna share my address online or anything but there are certainly people my age who could accidentally do that. I bet the CS mods would catch that in half a second though lol

I've been working on logging out during school hours, so far accomplishing about an hour a day. It's a slow progress, but I'm doing it.
