I remember watching the endless war between pupils and IT staff over blocking sites.

The filter was so heavy handed that trying to do your history homework was futile.

BLOCKED FOR VIOLENCE:
CLASSIFICATION: SWORDS AND WEAPONRY

Then they blocked game sites, so people used proxies. Then they blocked proxies so people used proxies for their proxies and it all ended up ridiculously convoluted so they'd just turn on the screen monitor and watch what people were doing on their PCs all day.

1984 level shit ._.

Ugh, trying to do research on the Marian reforms was completely impossible on my school's computers.
ERMAGERD, DRAWINGS OF GLADII AND PILI! BANBANBANBANBANBANBAN

Same here, A Level History coursework became impossible at school because my essay revolved around The Holocaust and Anti-semitism...


Blocked.Reason: Racial Hatred & Discrimination Content. GAH!
