To be fair, I don't know that we don't block coursera as well but the block I specifically saw was for a course hero. And some of the blocks that we have on are for security reasons over reliability reasons. We have to be hyper cautious about the students leaking any potentially PHI and some of the Google sign in setups are less secure than others.

That's been my go to since they started. There is/was a challenge using them when we evaluated them a while back with forcing safe search reliability if I recall the reason.

We have a different person that manages our block list so I don't know the reason for all the blocks. That said, we block https://www.coursehero.com/ not https://www.coursera.org/

Thanks for the tip

That is exactly what is happening. They type in the search query on their Chromebook (for example, "why do dry erase markers float", the results page flashes for a second and then the "this page is blocked" screen comes up saying they were blocked from Reddit, et al. Without them clicking on any search results.

And 2 kids can do the exact same search at the same time and get blocked for different sites or only one will get blocked.

I work in an education setting and in the last month, Google started preloading the contents of other sites directly on the search page. It is wreaking havoc when combined with our blocking tools because kids will do a Google search for something innocuous and the page will immediately get blocked because it tried to load a result from Reddit or coursehero or something else we have blocked.

It's incredibly frustrating.

I remember when she was popular learning that that she was like 10 years younger than me, so 35-ish.

It's an older meme sir, but it checks out.
