The abusers would be the smallest minority but those who neglect the power would be the more dangerous minority. They would allow students to access their computers without thinking of what the students could do. This is where some trouble the Gatekeepers worry about would happen. Student access a site parents don't want their child to see. Student says they accessed it at school on the teacher's computer. Parent calls either the district office or school board. They call IT about the problem instead of the offending teacher. IT will just shut everything down so they won't get those calls again. We are back to square one. Seen it happen too many times.
