...was the phrase when I tried to acsess the website from school a few days ago...
Any other school under the cruel censorship of nazis?

In my experience, it's not censorship, it's more the fact that they don't want it to be a distraction at school.

They dont want people getting another idea for a dictatorship. I guess its too late for me.

No censorware at my school. Each student has a computer account, all visited websites are logged. If you go to something like flashgames.com, your account will get suspended. That means you're doomed during IT (try completing coursework when you can't logon to a computer), but since you can be logged into an account at two different computers at a time, you'll generally convince a friend to let you use his.

Well, if you don't know the reason, ask! Show them that you aren't going to passively stand when your rights are violated.

This is interesting. Is the school obligated to provide computer access to students who misuse the common resource? I don't think so. In other words, computer use is not a right.

I agree that if you are denied access to the computer system provided for the common use of all students you should be informed of why you are being denied. At the school where I work we have all the students sign an agreement that they will not do certain things on the computer or they will lose their access. This is necessary to protect the resource for the majority of students who understand the world doesn't rotate around them. Therefore, I believe computer use in a school environment is a privilege, not a right.

No. You have it wrong. Computer use is a right. Do you know why? It involves only you; no one has to help you "achieve" that right. Something is not a right if it involves someone else to give you something.

1. If you believe in unlimited computer acess and rights in school, the world doesn't revolve around you.
2. Thank God you didn't post a attachment.

This is pretty much right, it's the school's computer so they can pretty much control what you do with it.

We don't sing anything. The rules were explained in our first year, and are clearly posted in both computer labs (we have two, one for class room use, while the other is freely availiable to students during free periods or after school. Each has about fifteen computers, and both are supposed to be used for "educational purposes", but it isn't that strictly monitered. Playing games will get your computer account suspended, but checking your e-mail will generally pass. Hell, I use the school computers to visit School Survival).

But I do think that any removal or suspension of the student's access to a computer should be explained. You shouldn't be left wondering: Why on earth can't I log on?
