I remember when I was in high school, and a lot of students loathed the Internet filters. They couldn't do what they went, go on social communities, surf the net, etc.
Looking back on it, however, I feel that filters are necessary in a school environment. You don't want a student to be on a disturbing site, because everyone else around them is exposed to the site. It also keeps students from being distracted in class. They are forced to pay attention because Facebook is blocked.
Also, parents don't have to worry about their child using the Internet for unapproved purposes. Since every student is under the same filter, all parents are appeased that their child will be safe from the dangers of the web in school (parents can just personalize their own computers' filters to protect their child at home).
Therefore, I approve of filters on school computers. Kids can just keep complaining about it; nothing's gonna change! >:D
