That isn't a good idea at all (sorry) and it goes against guidelines set in the Blocking Policy, as well as the basic principles of Wikipedia. As Gary Kirk said, there are some constructive edits in there, but I'll admit it is sometimes difficult to find them.

It would most certainly not.
Cases should be dealt with individually. We do have good editing coming from IP addresses registered to schools, and we have bad edits, as with most shared or public computers..

Hi all,
wouldn't it be a good idea to start blocking school (not university) IPs indefinitely. I have rarely seen a good edit come from one of these and the time spend on vandal fighting them is just wasted time, really.

Thanks Rjd0060 for pointing out the policy :) Okay, bad idea... It's just sometimes I get frustrated with vandal fighting during school time as it just gets silly...However, I will keep the flag flying of course :)
