Question

Why is th school so protective about thier sites?

Answer 1

If you meant websites, please read the good answers that others have written.

However, if you mean physical locations (e.g. they don't let homeschoolers play soccer on the school field, even when no one is using it), there are 2 reasons, 1 good, 1 bad.

The first reason: their insurance won't cover non-students and, if you get hurt or something, they could be sued and risk the settlement/judgment affecting the education they are able to offere their current students. Unfortunate, but it is a reasonable reason.

The second (bad) reason: they want more money. The more students they have, the more funding they get. If you enrolled in their school, they would get more money; since you haven't they will not give you a single thing because they either resent you or hope that if they make your life as difficult as they can (not that they have a lot of ways to get to you), you may enroll in their school at some point. This, of course, ignores the fact that your parents pay the taxes that fund the school, but who said they were logical or fair?

Answer 2

There are so many reasons why school/institution protect their sites:

1. To maintain the security and effectiveness of their sites.

2. To avoid spams, hackers and viruses that might ruin their site.

3. to avoid strangers for unauthorized used of their administrator site.

This is it, if a certain school have their site and protecting it or having only limited usage, what im trying to say is that, only view, and we can only view not allow to post, its because, to avoid spammers, virus and might ruined their system.

4. They only provide strangers/users to view some information but not all, why? only those who are members of their site to maintain the effectiveness of the site.

5. MOst of the institutional site, get some of their data/information from their main server, which means, everthing about their school, from student's data, records , teachers, administrator, staff and the history of the school, furthermore the main server, is the one that handles or stores all the payroll, inventory and all the very confidential files, data that only authorized personnel should know, so to avoid viruses, and spammers and hackers get into it, they protect their sites

Answer 3

To keep kids like you out of certian sites that offer adult content, cheats of any kind, and to keep you from places you just don't belong.

Answer 4

What sites - the sites you're allowed to go to on their computers?  If so, it's so students won't goof off and go to gaming sites, or game cheat sites, or quiz/exam cheats, social networking sites, etc., when they are supposed to be learning.  Most likely your parents (and possibly you) signed a "computer use" contract with the school.  That should spell out what is not allowed with school property, on school time.

BTW, this is the homeschooling section.  As a homeschool parent, you'd better believe I have Internet protection on my son's computer!
