Using GoGuardian had the right idea but clumsy execution. Every time I get a project I have to use a third party device from home in order to get the necessary information to excel in my class. However, some teachers enforce us to use our school issued chromebook and when using that it limits the websites that could give us genuinely useful information. it’s not fair, my average grade from 10th grade so far on assignments I had to research on my school issued chromebook with GoGuardian is around a 83%, however, using my personal computer for research assignment I have an average of a 91% which honestly is insane to me. Why is our schools that want us to succeed limiting us on websites that are setting us up for success?
Jose supported: Stop the Restrictive Internet Censorship by GoGuardian at Shelton High SchoolA little over a year ago, the school blocked Google Earth on school devices. When I asked one of my teachers how they felt about this, they said “how are students supposed to learn geography without Google earth?” This question has only became more apparent in the months following the ban on Google Earth, as the school, using GoGuardian, blocked a majority of the internet. This has caused intense annoyance for the students. Being a student at SHS myself, whenever I get a project, I’m expected to go and spend my class time researching the subject. Instead, I use my class time scrolling through the Google search results, trying to find the one semi-decent website to research using. The extreme use of GoGuardian leaves students to be confused and annoyed at the system. While GoGuardian does rightfully block websites that shouldn’t be accessed in school, the extent that it is taken to, where I can’t even access websites that teachers give us, is taken way too far. I shouldn’t have to use personal devices to find reliable facts about my subjects when I’m at school or home. The use of this program at this extent makes it feel as if we’re being forced down a long and convoluted road to get to a simple answer, and makes no sense to continue using at this point.
Earl supported: Stop the Restrictive Internet Censorship by GoGuardian at Shelton High SchoolI went to Columbia County schools for all of my K-12. I was blessed in the fact that I benefited from a well-rounded public education. I benefited from reading and drawing lessons from many books that would be banned under this policy. And in the modern world, let’s confront the fact that the existence of people who are LGBT+ is not political. Nobody but insane people who are on social media all day want anything like this.
Logan supported: Stop the Adoption of the "Guidelines for Determining Book Placement"Throughout history, the people who ban books are never the good guys. Our amazing library staff did a fantastic job at maintaining content for years u til these manufactured crises. Please stop reshelving and removing books from our library.
