Dear fellow concerned students.
As you know the technitions of our school have blighted us with the banning of the quiz website, named Sporcle. This website was both a stimulating and enjoyable pass time in the Sixth Form computer room and so we wish for it to be unbanned. Critics may argue that it is a distraction, however, I say NAY! It has been proven to stimulate cognitive activity and mould the memory of young minds early in the morning. Furthermore it is our intention to use this website for educative purposes as well as a engaging way to pass the time in between lessons. This theory is proved in the thesis of the website - "Mentally Stimulating Quizes." People of the Lower and Upper Sixth, do not let your civil rights be abused in this malicious and un-provoked manner, sign this petition and see the tyranny of the Senior Management put to an end!
Your fearless leaders, Big Al and Little Willy.

I just spent the last hour in the common room listening to everyone argue about which geography quiz category is the hardest and it honestly makes me even more convinced that the IT department is completely out of touch with what actually helps us focus before first period. It is honestly exhausting dealing with the filters while just trying to brush up on my capitals so I am drafting a formal letter to the school board today. If they ignore this one I might just lose my mind because who actually thinks trivia is dangerous?

Its not a distraction if I've finished all my work. Let us have some fun for once.
my brain is literally rotting without the geography quizzes. unblock it now
TOTAL BS. They block everything fun but leave the sites that actually dont work half the time. fix your priorities
Ridiculous decision. The school wifi is already slow as it is, blocking harmless quiz sites is just petty.
Literally just trying to learn capitals of countries, how is that a bad thing? Bring it back.

Sporcle is literally the only thing that keeps me awake during early study hall. Let us have it back.
