Eh; I'm getting increasingly tempted to show my students how to<br>circumvent any firewall restrictions using tor.<br><br>To top this off, I'm finding a large number of forum websites used for<br>technical support issues are blocked. I mean, really. At least we

<br>> Personally, I think every student should be satisfied with 24/7 access<br>> to the official VELS site, and maybe the curriculum planning guidelines<br>><br>> What more could they ask for?<br>><br>> Google, blogs, email, flickr, and all such web 2 apps should be banned
<br>> by decree<br>><br>> They might be used to communicate - and the risk of communicating is too<br>> high<br>><br>> I look forward to a world in which every interesting and interactive web<br>> site is finally blocked, and we all have handheld devices, on which we
<br>> can access an approved list of 3 sites<br>><br>> Paper and pen might also need banning, as there are reliable reports of<br>> these media being used for obscene drawing and note passing in class<br>><br>
