        And then there are the really problematic school districts where
the staff seems to have "gone native"

                I like the description of our precious little savages, I
mean children, it describes them pretty good.  I know of several schools
that depend upon blacklist/whitelist methods of filtering and don't seem
to have a problem with it.  But, those are also the same districts that
have enough staffing to be updating those lists daily and supervising
the savages, I mean children, constantly while they are using the
computers.

                 

                I look at it this way, SurfControl is expensive, but far
cheaper than the payroll needed for all those extra people to do the
manual screening, and far-far cheaper than the lawsuits that would be
generated as a result of letting little savages in heat do unsupervised
browsing.

                That's true, when you have professional malicious users
like the little savages in our public schools, you have to go with
Websense or SurfControl or some similar content filtering solution that
updates it's database everyday.

                        You can go the black-list route, but knowing the
kids we have here they will find ways around your black-list in a matter
of minutes.  Your best bet is a program similar to SurfControl, that
updates their listing of websites every day.
