this won’t work…
…but what about collaborate, create, communicate…isn’t this
what corporations are telling us our students can’t do?
So, how do we teach them to do this?

• I think that the number of websites that are filtered should
decrease as students get older. In elementary school,
students should have quite a bit of websites blocked simply
because they don't know as much about the Internet and
could accidently access something without realizing it. I
think students at this age need to be monitored and should
only be on websites with teacher assistance. In middle
school, I think students should have access to more
websites, such as Youtube, that can help them with
assignments. In high school, I think students should have
access to pretty much everything because they are already
using the websites anyway and if they could just access
them on their phones if they really wanted to.

• I don't think that the schools should filter high
school students. It's almost pointless because
the students have phones where they can get
on all of the websites that are being filtered by
the school.

• I think filtering is just a nussiance and doesn't
really control the students or stop them from
getting to what they want. We don't have
filters at home, where we're expected to do
some homework so why should we have it at
school. It doesn't help prepare us for 'real
world' multi-tasking.

18. Kathleen
• I think that filtering what students can access
in school is a good thing for their safety, but I
also think sometimes they have things over
filtered because there are many websites that
have been helpful with our CAPS class. Also
the filters can be broken through from high
school and middle school students by the use
of their phones, so sometimes they can be
pointless.

19. Chase
• I think that sites should be filtered for sure
because students have progressively gotten
more bold in the things they will do. Students
aren't really afraid of getting in trouble
anymore and will go to sites that they
shouldn't go to at school and they only reason
they don't do that now is because of the
filteration system.

20. Heather
• Filtering is a really hard concept to agree or disagree
on. There needs to be some filtering on school
computers just because students do not need to have
access to everything on the internet - i.e. inappropriate
pictures, inappropriate websites, etc. But, blocking
facebook and twitter, or any social media websites is
silly. Students are getting onto the sites on their
phones, and many times students are getting around
the filters. If the district does not block certain sites,
students will not abuse their rights. And for those who
do abuse the rights, then they will have consequences
other than filtering - suspension or a consequence that
affects the student to learn.
