Write a letter to the NYCDOE about why Youtube should not be blocked.
Dear NYCDOE,
well OBVIOUSLY, youtube is blocked and theres not any GOOD reason that it should be blocked honestly in my opinion. I think the only reason it should be blocked because students would probably take advantage of the fat that can watch videos instead of doing work. And also there may be non-appropitae stuff on youtube. But other than that Youtube shouldn't be blocked, I think all tech teachers should just have what Mr. Lahana has which is access to all computer and able to control them and can see them. All teachers have to do is enforce rules about the use of youtube. I think it should not be blocked because every other music site is very limited and it usually only have KNOWN songs, but kids may like songs that aren't known which isn't fair since they can't listen to it. So yeah i think it should just be unblocked, because it will have more kids more interested in kids coming to tech because they are able to listen to the music of their choice.

True, but for me the most important reason for not blocking YouTube is all the ways you can learn from it. There are so many tutorials, documentaries, and lectures that belong in school. Besides, all those kids really determined to get on it for "bad" reasons, will find a proxy site to help them do it anyways.
