My daughter and I were just perusing the student handbook for her new boarding school, and noticed that it says absolutely no streaming video or music is allowed on their internet. She has a Spotify and an Amazon Music account that she uses on her Alexa to listen to music now. How should she be preparing to continue listening to music? Are CD players still a thing?
I can’t answer the question because that was not an issue with my school. But I just have to know, what BS is this? Bomont High? Oh, I hope somebody gets the reference. 
No, at least not like before. Most music is digital.
Does seem like a very restrictive policy. I don’t understand what would motivate the administration to be so restrictive.
Would she be able to listen to music that is already downloaded on her phone? If I had to guess I would say that their routers probably can’t handle the demand that streaming music and movies place on them. I wonder if she could stream using data instead of wi-fi?
In any case, it does seem quite restrictive and archaic. I’m also curious to know what school, and if they also have a ban on dancing 
Is that the exact wording? Hmmm… At our school the focus is on using earbuds or headphones so as to not disturb others.
Also: Which school is this?
Buy the music she wants, instead of a streaming service. Then she can listen to it from various devices.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Knowing most high school students, they probably don’t listen to the rule anyways, and it’s likely so common that actually enforcing it is a waste of resources. The best course of action would be for your daughter to ask older students about their experiences with it.
She has cellular data, right - make sure it’s unlimited and then she can stream through her phone.
Spotify premium - she can download what she wants to her phone and won’t have to stream it.
Agree with above @dogsmama1997 …many kids in the dorm had Spotify premium…downloaded music… Air pods or other ear buds very popular. We packed an extra pair.
