not so illegal stuff in my school...

[Pie Crust]

How would the administrator be able to watch every single computer in the school at the same time? Someone would die if they pull this in my school. 40 PCs in the computer lab and 25+ netbooks per class.

more of a deterrent than active monitoring i'd wager.

Pretty much every student and staff gets given a computer by the school for me. That's like 800 people.

My school is really lax with it's monitoring stuff, partly because they put emphasis on trust, as you won't have people making sure you are doing the right thing all the time, and because the people who run IT aren't really behind on the times with internet things. The head of IT will actually let you get anything unblocked (within reason - nothing that would be illegal), even social networking, as long as you can come up with convincing reasons as to why and have a group of students who agree with you. Some people got instagram unblocked, and it isn't as if the IT staff don't know what that is. I think it was even students who got Facebook blocked in the first place, because they asked IT and said it was too distracting for them.

All your IT departments (and some parents) seem ridiculously strict.

Getting pissy over something most modern schools have had for years. Yea, ok.

Yes they should, what they get paid is based on how well the kids do.

at the majority of schools, no

The only real reason you have an issue with it is because you yourself are on what ever you want when you should be studying.

or id rather not have a teacher virtually breathing down my neck?

I have no idea what Frankie is arguing anymore. It makes literally no sense. All it sounds like is entitled whiny bullstuff.

What do you even mean by a kid should be responsible for themselves? Of course a kid should be responsible for themselves and follow the rules, but they won't. That's why they have the monitoring software, what are you even arguing? It really seems like you just wanna be able to do whatever you want and have nobody tell you no.

if i let someone borrow my car should i install a camera in my car or just inspect it when they bring it back
the majority of kids that arent dumbforgets will realize that not doing what they're supposed to = bad grades

My school system does it and I don't have a problem with it

Stop being a whiney little privacy freak just because you don't like the teacher monitoring you on their computers. Shut the forget up and get out.

[Slammer1337]

you don't need privacy on school computers, it's not your loving property

[The Brighter Dark]

It relies on Remote Desktop connection protocol, which makes it extremely easy to disable with CMD. If your school has command prompt disable by default, you can search in the start menu for "CMD" and use it that way.

[Flatflyer]

again I'll say this

If they do it on the computers they supply you with, its fine. its their property. they can do what the want with it


now if they do it on your own personal computer then THATS a invasion of privacy

[Abstath]

I'm not sure if my school even monitors the majority of the computers

We have 4 labs, half with ~20 each and the other half with ~40 each + 25 Netbooks.
I'm sure at least one is monitored, though people are too busy playing games to even be bothered doing anything malicious.

they prioritize monitoring the "troubled" students (aka anyone in an DS or SE class) chances are they won't bother with anyone else, atleasy at my school.

[Twerky]

How is this illegal, you're using their computers. It's not your property so you shouldn't be crying about it.
Besides it's not like you're planning on doing stupid stuff on the network hm?

This is COMPLETELY frustrating when 80% of highschool work is done on the computer, and you can't help but feel like the teacher is watching word by word what you are typing.

And lol it's not like they have tons of screens monitoring every single screen, you're making a big deal out of nothing.

[Candy Apple]

frankie they use those computers to make sure you're not going on websites to play games or going on google images
 
i mean SEEEEERIOUSLY

My school blocks system monitor and command prompt. Literally there is no way of getting to it. My old school didn't though
