Whatever they feel like.

It really doesn't matter, right?

I view it as pretty much of an all-or-nothing type of thing, right?

Because even me putting like an allowed list or a blocked list for my own students inadvertently, and it happened yesterday and today.

inadvertently blocks valid sites that they need for their history class, or it blocks something valid that they need for my class.

So it's so hard to appropriately filter the worst versus what they need.

Like, I know that over the time that my son's been in school, he's had to do research papers about the death penalty or something about school shootings or whatever.

Are we supposed to shut down everything that says gun and everything that says shooting and everything?

Like, it's a fact of life.

So I can see what they're doing.

And then I have the ability to close a tab or block a certain thing so I can monitor what they're doing when I don't want to hover over them all the time.

Every time that we put something into place, there's a workaround.

You know, it's a continuous workaround.

It is a whack-a-mole.

It's one of the things that makes—teaching's not the same that it used to be 34 years ago.

You know, I used to use an overhead projector and go to the library.

Remember those.

You know, exactly, right?

With a grease pencil or some type of, you know, overhead marker or whatever.

And that worked just fine.
