I basically live at my school. I get to school at 7:00am and I leave on average around 5:30pm. I have to have some wiggle room as far as personal things I am allowed to do at school. Right now I am balanced... stressed out... but balanced. If I am on break and I have a few minutes that I am not required to be in a meeting I should be allowed to check into my grad class or see how my husband's big meeting went at work. The minute I am told that I connect use my resources for anything personal I will have to cut my workday down so I can get home. This will make my classroom and school work suffer. I believe the admin at school has a strong trust in the teachers and they do not want to micromanage what we do. We all know that our tech people can check in on us through viewing what we do on the network. So clearly, no one is going to take advantage of our situation.
As long as there is a trust and respect in the workplace I do not believe our "security" is in jeopardy. We are all educated people that know what attachments we can download etc. I am only required to be at school from 8:10 - 3:40. I don't know how I could get all of my work done if I only worked what was required. If I can let my school work invade my personal life, then I feel like I am entitled to have some of my personal life at work.
As far as dissections go I believe students should have a choice. Offer both classes one with real life dissection and one with virtual dissection. Kids that are interested in medicine or other related fields can choose the real life dissection. Others can get the same information and not be made uncomfortable with it.

There are plenty of people in the work place who do personal things on the internet to the execess which bogs down the server, and also brings in virus threats.
ReplyDeleteMany people are ethical, but it is the ones who are not we need to use security for. Unfortunately, these measures impact everyone.
