Hello Maggie

Our service provider, when I questioned him at a recent conference stated that they had duty to 
protect school students. I tried to argue that I had a duty to educate them but that was the end of 
the argument. Another reply was that our technicians could individually unblock sites that we 
wanted unblocked but that is such a huge task. 
We only just changed over to this one and I much preferred the old. However the decision was 
made by leadership and I had no say in it.
I find that if students are using these sites, I am constantly reminding them of security issues, 
plagarism etc and they develop an instinct and conscience, rather than experiment by themselves 
outside in the real world or in their homes.
Cheers
