We block gaming from 8am to 3pm at the high school, but open it
otherwise, via our content filter.

If a teacher has a specific site that is relevant to classroom content,
we might unblock that site for him/her and the class for awhile upon
request.

We are trying to clamp down on enforcement of our AUP at Mt. Abe, which
says that computers may only be used for educational purposes.  That is
often simplified to "no games."  Well, of course there are wonderful
educational games, but some of our staff and teachers are not clear
about the difference, it would seem.  I'd like to support both the
policy and the staff.  How are the rest of you handling that fine line?
