On blocking content @ school, IMHO kids should not be using the internet at all in school, unless it's a class specifically tailored for that topic. Kids are not going to know a valid source of information from someone's blog or a corporate advertisement site. There is already curated sources (such a libraries and digital library catalogs) that should be the go to source for all research anyway, academic or otherwise. Blocking other content within a school network is a trivial whitelist process, if there is internet access at all. Cell phone policies are already in place at schools as well. This may seem like a bit extremist position to take, especially considering all the good content that is out there, but when is a grade school student really going to have time to go internet surfing between normal school activities? Curated content sources such as professional encyclopedias, periodicals and text books offer more than enough content for children to sink their teeth into, no matter how ravenous their appetite is.
