My networking knowledge may be out of date, but can't you get around region locked sites with VPNs or Tor?

I was in Turkey in July 2019. Wikipedia was blocked. I had to use Tor to access it. On installation I think I had to tick a special box that said something like "use flux capacitor bridge for blablabla countries like China and Turkey"

Though In that case, Wikipedia didn't give a fuck if you were accessing it from Tor. The government did.

I know some sites block tor/VPN access for various reasons

You can

But most people will not go to those lengths, esp not kids.

All it takes is one kid to work it out and it'll be common knowledge in that school within a week.

Depends on what you mean by "kids". Elementary schoolers, no, but some teens are willing to do a surprising amount of work to accomplish something if it's important enough to them. And then they pass their method along to their friends, or offer to set up anyone in the school for the price of a couple of bags of snack food.
