You don't. Rather then repeat why I will just refer you to this thread:

Get your parents to call the principle and explain to them how this is unfair and that they beleive you need to be doing alot of non school work while at school.

We here at AMHD cannot help you get around any sort of administrative restrictions imposed on a School, Work, or any other network not owned and operated by yourself. These restrictions can include (but are not limited to): Website Blocking policies, Software Installation policies, Email retention policies, Software Configuration policies, Network/Internet usage policies, Network Configuration policies, Forum or Chat Room Bans, Game Server Bans, or any other actions that are deemed "unauthorized" by the owners/administrators of the network in question. Any actions by members of AMHD that would be offered to help in this manner would directly violate the site's TOS

you know, don't answer this kid's question, but don't preach at them either.

besides i don't think thats fair at all. some kids get their work done earlier and all they want to do is get on there and check the messages from their friends. i think kids should get notes from parents saying its ok for the kids to go on the internet.

You are missing the point here. Lets say you have a safe deposit box in a bank vault. You go into the vault and while there, you ask the attendent to also open up another box, not yours. Would you expect the attendent to do so or would you expect the attendent to call the police? That's the situation here. The school has set boundaries on what their computers can and can't be used for. They have the right to do so. Students do NOT have the right to try and bypass those controls.


Fairness doesn't enter into it. Security and distraction are the issues. Sure some students do finish their work early and have valid free time. But that's not what school is for. Better to use that time for learning, they have their own time to socialize. For every student that has valid free time there are more students who will abuse the privelege.

But there is another issue here and that's security. Do you have any clue how much time is wasted in dealing with malware? Any organization has the right to protect their systems from such malware rather then waste time clearing it out.

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.

jesus christ "But that's not what school is for. Better to use that time for learning, they have their own time to socialize." not only is school a place to learn, but ummmmm talk to any child psych and they will tell you that it's also an important place to learn socialization.

When you become a sys admin like some of us are you'll understand. It's about our network, security and maintaining the policies of the organization.
