Exactly. It’s like a tacit admission that the only reason to have this stuff is for people like Joe.

He's super busy! No time to abuse our completely abuseable system...

my highschool has 1,500 kids and 2 IT guys. We have over 100 broken laptops rn. They're overworked minimum wage workers like everyone else working at public schools. They don't even look at what kids do. I've seen only 1 story in the 4 years I've been in HS where someone actually got in trouble for messing with stuff on the computer and it was because they were trying to brute force a network password they didn't have access to.

kids looking at porn on their school laptops is why the tools exist, not for pedos. 'Joe' is 0.001% of people, not the majority!

That’s a number you just made up.

Either way, use a blacklist then. If you really care about what sites they access, use a whitelist.

That’s a number you just made up.
