[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what posters are smoking, but it's ridiculous to talk about workplace rules and apply them to schools. Lots of kids do other stuff in class than follow the lesson. Some eat full meals; some read, some play games, and some finish homework for other classes and look stuff up in order to do that. In MCPS and probably other school systems, teachers can check exactly which websites each of their student is using, in real time, if they're at their computer. They can then selectively block whatever site they choose.

My daughter has, on rare occasions, been blocked from the school's online library. But by and large, in middle and high school, no one cared. Most teachers were actually happy she was reading - she's a straight A student and always finishes her work rapidly. There were instances when a teacher blocked games sites for other kids, and they pointed to my kid and said "hey why don't you block her?" and the teacher said, "no, she's actually reading, unlike you".

So... calm down, everyone.
