The only experince I have with AOL@School is an article contrasting my
work with OSEF/Corbett Elementary School to that of AOL@School.  The
article apeared both online, and in print (via tribune media servies).

The way I see it, you have to bring your own transport, you loss control,
and you loss bandwidth (I have not seen a way to run it through a caching
proxy)

BTW caching proxy's (squid) work quite well for general usage, see
http://mrtg.corbettschool.org/corbett both proxy stats, and the trafic
graphs for Dave, our proxy server.

Here is the URL:
