Id like to point out something.
I am a senior, and happen to have been placed in charge of network operations at my school.
-School computers do not arrive "stupid, retarded, and slow". In fact, they arrive in a quite desireable state. It pains me to put perfectly working computers in a classroom, to come back two weeks later to find the machines in disarray. People steal parts from the computers, then come back and complain about their inability to use the computer because it is lacking a mouse.
-Regarding the internet filtering: I am sorry, but censorship drives this country. In the state of Connecticut, a public school with an internet connection, and inadequate filtering is at risk of loosing their technology funding. That means NO NEW COMPUTERS. Also, Internet filtering is a completely insane concept. Do you expect someone to correctly classify every one of the billions of web pages on the internet? I certainly dont.
-Be happy your school has computers that work at all. Its a heavy task to maintain more than 100 computers, especially when you have a population of students who seek to destroy them.
The bottom line is, quit complaining, and dont be idiots.
