High Schools Blocking Free Email Services
from the no-more-hotmail dept
Apparently, many high schools are starting to block access to free email services from their students. There are a number of reasons for this: the schools are afraid it's tying up too many school resources, they find it harder to use email to keep in touch with their students (they'd prefer students just use school provided addresses), and apparently some students have used it to send threatening anonymous messages. Of course, if there's anyone who can figure out ways around blocks, I'm sure it's the students.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
