My school's getting a little pushy. . .

[Mr.X98]

How the hell can they get away with this? What the actual forget?

"a little pushy"

you could probably sue for this stuff and win if you tried

[Badger]

I understand this for school owned devices but it shouldn't be allowed for devices that are student owned

If you got enough students/parents interested you could try to petition it

My school just buys laptops for some English classes and that's it for the "technology". They put their focus into better lunches and new textbooks.

Why is it so hard for other schools to make similar priorities, rather than loving over all the students?

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.

Come to think of it, you could probably sue them or get them arrested for harassment if it happened like a year ago.

first world countries are in a really weird time where there's too many people who don't understand newer technology or ideals and are confused by it, just don't install it and ride it out until they inevitably stop doing it

[HooperScooper]

forget SCHOOL
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION KEEPS GETTING DUMBER

So how about transferring to another school

Our school used to have stuffty windows 7 netbooks that were super slow, those got replaced with chromebooks. That arn't terrible. We also have computers that used to run xp but now run chrome os. loving magic I tell you.

[SpongeCraft1212]

all of our privacy is being invaded these days, and it's really stupid.

but this? this is just awful.

but like what freshmin said, just don't install it and wait it out.

Why do you need to install a security profile to use google apps on your phone?  Does the school own your phone?

Why do you need to install a security profile to use google apps on your phone?  Does the school own your phone?

No, they own the account and the data in it. For some things including but not limited to Exchange, you can use third-party apps that effectively sandbox the data from the rest of your phone so it can still allow remote erase but it will only affect the data from the account.

[Red Spy]

This sums up that pic pretty well

[JoeysWorldTourLIFE]

at least you're allowed to use the school wifi on your phone

[ultimamax]

Sounds like the people running your school want to "modernize" without understanding what it actually means

[Arekan]

The school doesn't even understand how to properly block sites yet. They've been switching which company/program they use to block websites constantly and they've ended up blocking their own websites at times, and blocking stuff like the New York Times because it has something containing 'abortion.'

Some of the school computers have Origin installed on them, and Simcity alongside that. I don't know how they got there, but an entire computer lab has those two things installed on every computer. I really doubt it was for a class because, Simcity had DRM and the school most definitely blocked anything related.
