      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.
