    GET THIS WEBSITE TAKEN DOWN. CONTACT THE BOARD OF EDUACATION. GET RID OF IT! DOWN WITH LIGHTSPEED! It steals information, and blocks the wrong apps. Do not use.

    Hello! I'm in the 6th grade class, and they have this installed in every school laptop in the building. I feel like I shouldn't bring my computer home, as It tracks your location. I feel like i'd rather do my work on my iPad than in a Computer that tracks your everything. Also, the blocker is horrid. It blocks videos needed for lessons, games we are allowed to play, and sights we need.
