I am using the addonz package of dansguardian, which comes with a gui.  So, when I access my ipcop gui, there is a tab for content filtering, where I can change configurations.  Here is the problem.

Are you transparently filtering? You can't do any proxy authentication if 
you are, which puts a damper in this situation. What you could do is show 
your teachers how to set their proxy server and then let them 
authenticate.
