Im sure the school doesn't have a problem with this site.  It's likely because it's becoming too distracting.  Kids are probably hanging out on this site and not focusing on their school work.  There's plenty of non school time to hang out on chess.com.  Amirite y'all?

That's possible. But it seems to me that there are probably a number of other websites that could be banned first if distraction is the main problem. 

Our middle school teaches chess, and I've heard a number of schools also teach it. Maybe the OP could say if it's taught at the school in question. If it is, it would seem odd to ban chess.com for distraction if it's something that's encouraged in school. 

Not to say chess.com shouldn't be banned for other reasons, but I don't see how it (alone) could be a major distraction.

@puppydogs1000 as a kid you shouldn't give out ANY personal information online & should delete that location post of yours ASAP.
