Internet in school- Opinion piece

Everyone thinks it's great when I say I get to rent a laptop for the year since I go to MLC. It's pretty cool that I have access to the internet, but it's also kind of annoying. There are certain rules and regulations that come along with having a computer in school. Games, E-mail, Social networks, and any other site that may be used for something other than school work are blocked. I suppose this makes sense, but it's also very annoying when I put something in my e-mail for later, and then try to find it and turn it in, but the sites blocked so I have to go find a proxy or alternate route just to turn in my homework. Also, I can understand that teachers and the administration don't want their students getting distracted by everything online when they're supposed to be getting their class work done...However, I think a little bit of freedom in focus study or free time when we're done with our work in class would be fine to allow us to hang out online for a little while. I doubt this will actually ever happen due to our behavior in sixth grade (Which was how many years ago) but hey, it was just a thought.
