 [ This was a soundoff in response to the idea that you tube could possibly be block by the highschool computers.]

I think that the idea of the school blocking you-tube is rediculous. The you-tube site has so much information that can be useful in the classroom that blocking it would have more advantages then disadvantages. Sure there’s the occasional person who’s gonna goof around on it during studyhall, but if they are wasting thier time doing that instead of work, that’s their own fault, you shouldn’t punish everyone else for their stupidity.

I have only used you-tube in one of my classes so far this year, and that is my French class. We were studying the different styles of music and fashions in France, and you-tube made it much easier for us by providing us with music videos and fashion show clips. You-tube has also provided us with the opportunity to watch our boys water polo team make fools of themselves, but I suppose that’s not really academic related; it’s just extremely funny.

I think that overall you-tube has kept the videos g-rated and so there is really no reason for the school to be worried about the content of the videos that we are watching and therefore there is no reason for them to block it.
