[quote=Anonymous]This again? You post this every month.

Teachers in the MCPS system have the option of blocking any internet site they want, and can look at the screens of any students in their class, from their desk computer.

If your kid does the work and then has free time, the teacher might not care what they get up to. My second kid is in 10th grade and has always read books on Sora, the MCPS online library, instead of playing games. There were times in middle school when the teachers blocked game sites for other students, but let her read her books in class. Her chemistry teacher in 9th grade would block every website except a few scientific ones, and told her to read a science textbook when she was done with her work. This year, she was incensed that the English teacher briefly blocked her from reading, but he realized she had already read the assigned book they were discussing in class, and let her back into Sora.

Talk to your child's teachers if you are unhappy with their website access policy, OP.
