whatever its unfair that some honor students who might earn the right to do something fun at school on their free time, cant, and its because of a system administrator that thinks he has power
Why doesn't the honour student request access from the administration?
The sys admin is just doing a job, it isn't personal at all. And blocking sites in a work network is becoming very, very common. You can visit any site you want from home.
there is a big difference between stealing a safety deposit box, and accessing a blocked site, there are ways around the blocking that dont involve breaking into to anything or changing anything on the schools policy.
You just don't get it do you? The school has set a rule. Trying to bypass the blocks is breaking the rules. Trying to get around that rule is unethical and wrong.

I agree that socialization is an important part of school, but there are times and places. What can possibly be so important about checking your MySpace page that can't wait?

Who said life was fair? Maybe it is unfair for the honor students to have priveleges taken away because of the abuses of others. In that case your ire should be directed at those whose abuse of the access has resulted in system admins being forced to protect their systems. Instead of wrongly getting upset at them (note I deleted your abusive note, its not appropriate here). System Admins don't "think" they have power, they DO have power. But more than that they have a responsibility, a responsibility to make sure the system is up and running and available to all. You need to grow up a bit and understand about responsibility.
... talk to any child psych and they will tell you that it's also an important place to learn socialization.
Yeah, socialising with other human beings in a real-time environment! I doubt any child psychologist would tell you that a child would benefit more greatly from sitting on myspace than schoolwork!
And if you're an honour student, who is finishing your work early, your teacher's should be giving you extra work so you can further excel yourself! I doubt a honour student would WANT to spend the school day sat on myspace anyway!
If you got caught doing this at work, you'd get fired ... if you got caught doing it online, you'd end up in prison! It's quite simple!
Ha ha, sorry, I was only kidding! I am a bit obsessed with Facebook when I'm at home though!
We have a gateway at work that blocks ... well ... pretty much everything! It makes sense though, the amount of productivity a company/school loses because of their employees/students surfing an unbridled internet is ridiculous!
