Beaverton School District HAS to stop blocking apps.


Beaverton School District HAS to stop blocking apps.
The Issue
Arguments against the Beaverton School District's (BSD) link-blocking practices center on improving educational access and fostering student creativity, with critics arguing that excessive restrictions hinder learning and limit access to valuable educational tools. Advocates for revising the policy suggest that many blocked sites are harmless, often necessary for assignments, and their restriction inhibits student autonomy and digital literacy.
