The Central York's AUP is the rules of computer is on and outside of school. The AUP mainly talks about child pornography. Child pornography is against the law and will cause u to be in trouble by the school and lose your computer access if you you look at any pornography on the school laptops. Also it talked about hacking and downloading files and games onto the computers. That will also cause you to lose computer access. The AUP has many many rules an most of them should be followed because of you do not follow them you can be in serious trouble.

I think that almost all the points in the Central York AUP should stay except for a few. The only ones i think should not be in the AUP is the ones about downloading music and games. I think you should be able to download music and games to the computers as long as your signed into your name and your not doing it illegally.

I think that if you violate the Central York AUP you should not be aloud to use school computers for awhile depending on what rule in the AUP you broke, you should get detentions, and you should have to hand write all the assignments you have to do that have to do with the use of a computer. Teachers, counselors, and principals could make students aware of cyber-bullying by having multiple assemblies about cyber-bullying throughout the year. That would really help students be aware of cyber-bullying and how damaging it can be. Teachers could take time out of class once a week to talk about cyber-bullying with their students so that the students will hear about cyber-bullying a lot throughout the school year causing them aware of how to a avoid it and why you should not cyber-bully. Counselors could talk more with student who have been cyber-bullied or who are being cyber-bullied so that that person can know how to deal with it and how to be happy and ignore the cyber-bullies.
