There are some sites out there that are blocked; and we need them. In fact, even teachers ask us if they are blocked because they're just as clueless themselves. I get that this'll significantly crash the blockers revenue and all that stuff but theres no point. Kids, like me, are still finding ways around this. I'd recommend not to block the sites but instead monitor in class. The devices are the district's property, and we shouldn't completley treat them like it's ours, but I believe it's better if you let us enjoy some freedom. Sooner or later they'll stop gaming so I mean as long as they succeed, I see no reason in stopping us. I'm leaving middle school in 3 days and I still felt like I should write in the petition because it just seem unfair. I stopped gaming myself although I still needed to bypass the blocker to create a website for a large project. At least the students will be on something you could monitor, unlike their phones. :) that's kinda it sorry if I sounded goofy or smth.
sumit supported: Ban Modern/AI Blocking Software in SchoolsBlocking software should be removed. I realize that some students take advantage of this and play games on their devices. However, many blocked sites are necessary for projects or are not inappropriate at all. Just because a site does not end in '.org', '.edu', or '.gov' does not mean the site is not appropriate to use in schools. The blocking has now reached a new level, blocking so many sites that it is difficult to find one that works. In addition, the blocking platforms have gone so crazy that even trustworthy news sites and others have been banned. These blocking software must go if schools want students to successfully complete work in school.
Yuna supported: Ban Modern/AI Blocking Software in SchoolsAs a student who is trying to get into the cyber and coding space, the blockers are definitely a problem. I can't access GitHub, one of the biggest archives for every type of code you can think of. The blockers will only harm future careers.
Liam supported: Ban Modern/AI Blocking Software in SchoolsMy school’s blocking software has gotten so bad to the point where the study sites our teachers ask us to use are blocked and it forces us to find alternatives that aren’t blocked. Its extremely inconvenient. There has also been an issue with some if not most blocking softwares being spyware, removing our freedom of privacy.
Connor supported: Ban Modern/AI Blocking Software in SchoolsI have experienced how software similar to goguardian invades privacy and does not protect. it just ends up controlling.
Grant supported: BanGoGuardianAs students start their research, it seems like every tab they click gives them a familiar screen pop-up: “blocked.” What starts as a wasted search turns serious; students are called to the office and questioned about their searches as part of a mandatory student safety check-in.
Bently supported: End Blocksi and all Spyware in UtahAs students start their research, it seems like every tab they click gives them a familiar screen pop-up: “blocked.” What starts as a wasted search turns serious; students are called to the office and questioned about their searches as part of a mandatory student safety check-in.
