Educators struggle with AUP enforcement

But a movement growing in schools today says taking away a student’s access to technology is akin to denying that student valuable learning opportunities–and so many school leaders are now searching for better alternatives.

As opposed to banning a kid from the internet and forcing teachers to create new lessons for them that don’t require internet access. I would say most schools still ban kids from the internet or otherwise suspend or expel them for AUP violations, demonstrating that you can’t force someone to learn.

I still recommend Vericept for schools that want to monitor online behavior beyond what the typical filter will do.

Still, behavior problems in schools are systemic. If you abolish compulsory education and child labor laws, they would more or less disappear.
