AHS wirless connection

I read Two Steps Forward... on the fischbowl. Although I didn't really understand what was trying to get across on this it did make me think a little bit. The topic was about a wireless connection in school, although I know this will help the students out in school being able to find out teacher's off periods and a school map for new students wont it also effect the usage of electronics in the school? Wont it effect the number of student ditching, I mean seriously it might have the same amount of blocks that the school does but without teachers monitoring what their on they could still go to a lot of web sites that have nothing school related to them. And if there are some people that know how to get past the blocks (I'm sure there are a lot of them) whats to stop them from just getting on their ipods psp's and cell phones and just playing games during class. I'm not saying this isn't a useful thing for school but in my mind there seems to just be a lot of flaws with the idea. It did also talk about an override, I'm not entirely sure what that was about it didn't seem very clear on that part it could be for the entire connection or just a single student. If it were for a single student I think that it would be a good idea, like monitoring them and if they bend the rules like they have for the library could break their connection now that would be a great idea. But it still goes as I said above it's a good idea for people that use it for school but if people might use if for other things and it seems like kinda a big flaw to me.
