Unblock Scratch

The Issue

Scratch allows students to be creative and create project and ideas expressing themselves and overall having fun. It's the teacher's fault that they allow children to play games during class time. The students who abuse class time by playing scratch should be punished, not the entire school when most students who use scratch do it when their teachers allow and in their free time. With Scratch being blocked, many students will be unhappy about their favorite free time site being blocked and will have nothing to do when they have nothing to do because many of the users do their work when they are supposed to and finish on time if not before the other classmates and need something to do besides staring into nothingness. The school should punish the single students who play games in class instead of the entire school. Along with this many school scratch users have been using scratch for years and have many deeper connections to the website or something on it, this will cause force them to have to use time at home to get on scratch which is a big inconvenience for many with lots of homework they have to do or other activities like sports, boy scouts, or other out of school activities. This is why scratch should be unblocked.
