What I just found was... How do you say...offending. This level of profanity is very inappropriate. I quote from http://www.boredofstudies.org/, specifically these few examples.

http://community.boredofstudies.org/468/movies/11853/shittest-movie-ever.html?highlight=cast+away from an Over97:

The S*ittest Movie Ever.
________________________________________
Gigli.

If you disagree with me, than you are WRONG.

I have seen a plenty movies, from "Star Wars Episode 1", to "Kangaroo Jack", from "Glitter" to "The Sum of all fears"

these movies mentioned range from shit, to pretty f*cking horribly shit.

GIGLI however, is the KING of S*ITTINESS.

prior to watching the movie, i have heard that it is a pretty shitty movie. they way critics reviewed it made it sound SO F*CKING HORRIBLE.
I watched it because i thought well "it cant be THAT bad". so as you can imagine, i went in NOT expecting something good like "A beautiful mind", my expectations were pretty f*cking low.

BUT, as low as my expectations were, GIGLI (pronounced jee-lee, the names a f*cking turn off), got even lower.

i cant explain it. save urself from watching this pile of horses*it.
even the main f*cking actor admitted that it was shit.

GIGLI? NO THANKS.
-----------------------------------

As you can see, I had to filter it myself, as your filter blocked my email to you the first time I sent.
Here is another example:
http://community.boredofstudies.org...s-too-big-indian-men.html?highlight=castaway:

As I was looking up this FORUM for information on castaway, a text I am using for the physical journey for English, I cam along with this. What has condoms and penises and other sexually material got to do with school, maybe in PDHPE, but then again most sex education sites are blocked by the school.

More inappropriate material:
http://community.boredofstudies.org.../45951/where-did-you-lose-your-virginity.html

Quoting millencolinstar :
where did you have sex for the first time?

like at their house, the beach, movies..

and also how old were you?


Please tell me what does losing your virginity got to do with education? This is more information about people losing their virginity at an early age, which should not be promoted, and is not safe for young students.

http://community.boredofstudies.org/293/love-relationships/147629/your-sexuality.html

What has being gay or lesbian or heterosexual got to do with school work?

The department of Education has a nice filtering system. Please block this site… If you cannot tell, I am being sarcastic. Why block other forums, let alone uncategorized sites, when you fail at monitoring what content is in the allowed sites?

And I end with a quote from you, my internet guardian:

“As you can appreciate, the Department has a duty of care to provide a safe environment for students. Internet filtering is one way that we provide this protection for students when student use the Department's internet services. It is important to note that internet filtering in used in many organisations including universities, local councils and private business firms. Adapting your searching techniques to the browsing environment that you are working in, for example browsing from home, from school, from public libraries, will help you to maximize your browsing experience despite any filtering system that may be in place.”

Your email has been referred to the Information Technology Directorate so that we can provide you with a response to your enquiry. Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to email us and for expressing interest in how internet filtering operates in schools.



The Department uses a filtering system that operates by grouping web sites according to clearly defined categories designed to both protect the security of the Department's network and to avoid inappropriate sites being accessed by students at various grade levels in schools. Internet filtering is always used in order to ensure that the Department's Internet services are safe and suitable for students.



Business forums are grouped by the filtering system within the category "technical/business forums". This category is blocked for students in schools because the Department is unable to ensure that content posted within un-moderated forums is suitable for students and as such, they pose a risk to child protection.



As you can appreciate, the Department has a duty of care to provide a safe environment for students. Internet filtering is one way that we provide this protection for students when student use the Department's internet services. It is important to note that internet filtering in used in many organisations including universities, local councils and private business firms. Adapting your searching techniques to the browsing environment that you are working in, for example browsing from home, from school, from public libraries, will help you to maximize your browsing experience despite any filtering system that may be in place.



If you identify particular websites that are blocked which you feel are essential to your business studies or other studies, you should discuss this with one of your teachers. Your teachers may submit a request to have the websites unblocked if they agree that they are educationally valuable.



This correspondence will be forwarded to your school Principal so that the appropriate person at your school may provide you with further assistance if necessary.



Regards,



Learning Systems Team

Dear DET Administrators,
My Teacher has asked me to research on the internet during business studies, and your DET portal has blocked Business Forums, why?



-----------------------------------------

[Timothy.Siu]

lol.....i dont know wat to say

 

[shadowicefire]

Its like.. prove them wrong in one thing they go make another excuse ==

 

[seeto.centric]

the DET are screwed in the head. period
i've had my own run in's with them but on a far higher level, different issue altogether but i wont go into details.
they never like to admit fault

 

[gibbo153]

Its like.. prove them wrong in one thing they go make another excuse ==

kind of like arguing with a teacher

you prove them wrong and they basically play the 'ok well im a teacher and your a student so i can use my power to win this argument even though im a stupid douche'

the DET fails in regard to everything to do with anything it has ever been involved with
