Surely, these kids can only do it once! After that their access is revoked.
Not a useful option if (mostly "and/or" between these items): a) they make extensive use of the network for their academic work b) the school makes extensive use of email for communications between staff and pupils c) they all have internet at home so have independent email and the school's email system is part of the world-wide one d) the school's intranet is part of the word-wide internet so as to make home/school access easy, and the firewall is more like a fishing net. and since all these are desirable assuming everyone behaves well, we implement them all and then try to control things by monitoring, educating and very occasionally removing facilities. For example, a boy today lost *all* his jpeg and gif files because he had, despite warnings, retained a number of undesirable ones in his directory. -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-820527 or 07798 636725 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
