Check the
four
myths below.
Block lists
prevent students from ever seeing the block-listed sites.
Blocking all sites except for those on an
allow list
will protect students.
There are ways to bypass a filter, but most students won't be able to figure out how to do this. (Hint: try typing "bypass school proxy" into Google)
