network because of traffic flow you should not worry about it. If what =
is happening is not illegal the answer is not restriction but more band =
width.

Subject: Personal Use
Our school has been pretty loose about letting teachers, administrators
and staff use the computers for personal use on their own time (prep,
recess, lunch, after school, etc.). However, with applications and web
2.0 sites taking more and more bandwidth, I have a need for teachers to
stop streaming their radio station, stop watching the news videos, stop
checking their Facebook, stop shopping for a new pair of shoes, etc.
especially during school hours. I doubled the bandwidth this year from
one T1 to two T1s for about 300 computers, and there are times when max
bandwidth is being used for hours at a time, even though I know very few
if any students are using it at that time.
How anyone else had this problem? How have you dealt with it?=20
