It almost sounds like whoever's "fixing" the "problem" doesn't really care if you use the internet as long as their paycheck comes in.
Some classes require the internet. Sometimes we need to look up some information ourselves. That's why they leave the line connected. IE requires a teacher or a user with teacher rights to run a script so that students have internet access. So a bunch of our class just made the script themselves (modifying the original was impossible) without the check-up on user rights...
