Of course. Just compare school to an office building. I mean, you wouldn't want your employees(students) to be slacking when they're supposed to be doing work right? It's comming out of your pocket.

No, it is not fair to eliminate any information gain/resource from the students, whether that means allowing them to slack off or not. At home, they will have these opportunities, so limiting them at school will not do much.

The problem is that when they're at school they're wasting the government's money which of course, comes out of your pockets. Albeit, some resources and information will be cut off but the majority of web pages that are dedicated to information are likely unfiltered for just that reason. If one has a complaint that a site that may or may not have a source of information is blocked, they can simply take it up with the school staff.

its does get annoying when i am searching for something and it is blocked for a wierd reason...things get blocked for comedy, games, or even the reason says misc...

Im not saying that they should not filter it but they should be reasonable about what they are filtering and not filter everything.

Side: to a certain extent
