I agree that kids will find ways to get around rules. But...I think the 
point is that they know the rules, and know that you're serious.  Or 
maybe more importantly, they know the consequences of breaking the rules 
(or tunneling porn over port 22).  If you have the blocking stuff in 
place, he'll know he's wrong to go around it...even if he does.
