I am working on getting one running, although most likely focused on

The school IT dept probably decided to block Usenet for the safety of
"the kids".

Or they realised that it was more work than they thought for not enough

It's not necessarily that people just give up because stuff is hard,
there is limited time in the day and people have other stuff to do.

 
Actually the more work you do, the more you get familiar!
 
Getting high schools to a Usenet project should be
the advocacy of everyone here!

I'm not saying it's not worth it, I'm just saying they might have to
restructure their plans because school projects have a certain amount of
time allocated to them, and once it's getting close to the completion
date it's just not possible to do everything. Especially if it's
something as complicated as setting up a working nntp server if even the
terminal might not be the first thing people think about when using
computers.

At this level , Internet should be defined as
a network of computers running various services.
