I agree i think if we have spare time and the teacher has nothing else for us to do then it should be unblocked and i think before and after school it should be unblocked to

Although it would be a major distraction in classes, MySpace and all online games should be fully accessible at school, and if a teacher 'catches' a student on MySpace or a game, there should be no punishment. The student's ruined education should be punishment enough. Also some schools have a 'credit' system, where students are allocated 20-50 virtual dollars and this money is used up if the student is on a non-educational site. So if the student is using Wikipedia, Google, etc, the money won't be touched. Spend 10 minutes on MySpace, you lose between $2-$5.

I don't think mySpace should be blocked its not in my school we all use it to comunicate with each other. People say its unsafe you can always make your profile private. Another thing some of our school tuck shop owers use myspace to tell us bout their new produce and about them. It can also be used educationally. Alot of teachers in our school have my space and we go on them to find out about our teachers.

School is for learning, not messing around on myspace.

It shouldn't be aloud at schools. Some parents don't even allow there kids to have myspaces and if the kid can get on to it at school and later the parents find out that it has been accessed at school and that is what the child is doing instead of learning. Parents aren't going to be happy.

School is an environment where the students should not be exposed to distractions like that. And i am a teenager who has a myspace, and i think its one of the best things ever in my spare time, but i really don't think that it should be something we can get to during school.

I can not think of one good reason it should be allowed during school hours.

Myspace has no place in a learning environment, it should not be needed at schools.

There's no reason why students would need to access MySpace in their school hours. It's not educational, it's not academic, it's not even a news website. Surfing the internet is truly not an entertainment fit for the school environment.

Yes, i agree that myspace has zero educational value and is full of porn, viruses and perverts. I'm surprised you would even need to ask that question. Next you'll be asking if playboy should be unblocked.

Myspace has a lot of adult content and is therefore inappropriate, the kids should be learning, not chatting to their myspace pals

Myspace should be and continue to be banned at schools
it has no purpose in the classroom what do you go to school to play games or to learn.
Poor teachers would have an unmotivated classroom with student more interested in what their profile picture is or what their friends are saying
Cyberbullying don't reject it it happens. And with myspace being unblocked from schools this phenomena will become larger for the bullies would have 24/7 control tormenting their victims mostly all day everyday.
COST: You know that is costs the schools to run internet and with the children in schools being on myspace all day these internet running costs could go through the roof. Myspace is addictive ( lol)
HELLO it's not an educational tool and doesn't belong at school!!!!

Yes Myspace Should be blocked in schools. Myspace doesn't have anything to do with education. It can bring more danger and the internet should not be used for such leisurely purposes.

I just can't envision the scenario that would demand having to go to myspace. Myspace, along with forandagainst.com, youtube, and dozens of other websites can wait. This must be some kind of modern-walking through the snow-thing but, back in my day :), you couldn't even check your own email.
I guess in the end, students will always find a way around any sorts of blocks, because teachers don't really care. At worst, when they get caught fooling around on myspace they'll just get them to leave the library. Still myspace will never be able to be argued as educational... That's pretty sad

 Heh, in my day there was no such thing as cell phones or e-mail or even the Internet. If you had a computer at all, and a dial-up modem, there was virtually no online networking, you called a BBS and the messages stayed there.

It's just a shame to look at all these spoiled kids who have never known a world where being connected wasn't a constant reality.

MySpace is a good website, but there is no need to use it in schools. It is a social networking website, therefore there is no reason for it to be used at school.

You can easily check your MySpace profile at home. Sites such as MySpace and Facebook can get rather addictive and school isn't the best place to use them as they can distract you easily.

I see no reason why MySpace has any place in schools whatsoever, it isn't an educational tool, therefore why should people be able to access it from schools at all?

Makes no sense.
