My school's getting a little pushy. . .

In order to use any Google app on my phone (my school constantly uses Google Drive, and Google Docs, so it's easier if I just have all of the apps on my phone so I can work on stuff or view stuff if I need), I need to install a security profile on my phone. This was new as of Friday, when I tried to use an app, it blocked access and said I needed to.
Welp, I read into what the security profile actually does, and..


:l
I can still use the website version, which is harder to use, but still, the forget?

Well that's ridiculous.

Welcome to the loving education system assuming that everybody is using their phones for troublemaking. Godbless Rooted Androids.

Well that's ridiculous.

Welcome to the loving education system assuming that everybody is using their phones for troublemaking.

Also, the school is doing a bunch of random stuff to make itself look better but not actually improving the insides.
Our lunchroom has a couple new flatscreen TV's. Cool, they let us watch TV during lunch.. except these new TV's are used to display what seems to be some form of MS-Paint slideshow that tells us random facts, displays random photoshops of food in places where it shouldn't be (like a cowboy riding a banana instead of a horse, I think, it's really weird), and what the lunch for today is. Not only does it look horrible, but it's also useless because we have a bajillion things that tell us what lunch is, and it's during the announcements that they also tell us what it is.
Additionally, the school bought fancy new iPads for the library! Except.. it's literally just an iPad. Locked in to the front desks via some security thingymabober, so you can't steal it.. but it's literally just an iPad that functions like a factory new iPad. I actually went to it, and took a couple thousand pictures of nothing (the security thing covered the camera) and did a bunch of other stuff to it. And whatya know, the pictures of our library juuust so happen to include said iPads in the corner, like, "Hey! Look at us! We're high-tech!"

Ugh. Then you get into the actual school and you realize everything is jack stuff. :c

is your school run by the loving elderly

what a waste of money

my school keeps trying to buy macs for the hallways when nobody at the school can afford a mac anyway

my school does the same things with the flatscreens at lunch, although they display announcements like prom and stuff sometimes

That's complete bullstuff, this stuff never would have stood in the 70s, why the forget should they be able to wipe your device.

complain to the school board

This is just plain stupid. That makes me plain mad. You can't just have the school controlling your entire device, especially with all your private info! I never knew there was such thing. So they could just uninstall your favorite game, with all of your saves lost! They could change settings, as of disabling vibration, so now you'll never know when someone texts you. And they could just control your device like they know your passcode! Get me out of this world!

Yeah, that's a grotesque breach of privacy. I'm so glad I'm out of loving high-school, and I don't have to look at thousands of different "content blocked" pages whenever I wanted to do a research essay on national socialist's or gun control or some other dumb stuff that was filed under "malicious content". I remember doing an essay in health and I couldn't access a page about dopamine because apparently a fundamental neurotransmitter counts as a recreational drug. Ironically enough if you searched "bukkake" you'd get first page results of research on google images.

Throwback to when my head-of-house pressured me into confessing that I was depressed by threatening me with disciplinary action, and then told all of my teachers, my parents and her co-workers about it despite saying that what I said would remain anonymous. forget literally everyone involved with the warped ass condition of the modern education system.
