I am a teacher at a prep school, and my family and I live on campus. The school provides free internet access. When we moved here, they informed us (in passing) that they did not monitor faculty internet activity and that they did not care if we accessed porn. However, this is not in writing anywhere, and it does not appear to be possible for us to add our own, outside, internet access.

So, what are your thoughts on the safety of accessing porn in this setting? I have been watching run-of-the-mill porn on various websites on occasion, which I doubt will raise any serious red flags. However, I would like to engage in anonymous adult chat from time to time (text, not video). My porn interests are not that crazy (mostly just dirty talk) and are NEVER on the child-porn spectrum, but I do worry that such self-generated content could be detrimental to my career if it were uncovered. So, what do you think? Any suggestions as to how to approach this, or where to get more information about how to maintain privacy in such a setting? Or should I just hold off until I am on vacation on another network?

Please advise—not really sure who else I could ask about this!

Trapped Teacher

This question is above my pay grade—or below it, not sure—so I'm tossing this one out to the tech-savvy, at-risk youth out there. Any advice for this porn-surfing prep school teacher?
