   That’s a fun question! Many schools have pretty strict internet filters, and it can lead to some hilarious situations. Some common “stupid” things that get blocked often include:

   1. YouTube – While there are educational channels, many schools block it thinking it’s just for entertainment.

   2. Gaming Sites – Even the most harmless games can be blocked, making it tough to sneak in a quick break.

   3. Social Media – Sites like Facebook or Twitter are often restricted, which can be a bummer for students wanting to connect with friends.

   4. Wikipedia – A surprising number of schools block it, despite it being a valuable research tool (though students should be careful about accuracy).

   5. Personal Email – Sometimes schools block personal email accounts to prevent distractions, but it can be a hassle for students trying to communicate with family.

   It’s always amusing to see what gets swept into the “not allowed” category! What about your school?
