I grew up with unrestricted internet and other freedoms, man I feel scarred for life and hope no kid ever goes on the internet or does anything at all with their freedom because that freedom includes the freedom to get hurt, and it's better for people to be in a box all day than to get hurt. Seriously, you make me fucking sick.

really, if you think you know better than kids what is good for them, or doubt their ability to learn on their own, you're better off not giving them anything at all. unfortunately, the way society is set up, what with cipa and all that, kids don't have much rights. the internet is really egalitarian, and blocking it goes against its whole point. in short: teachers are jackasses, school ain't shit, whatever
