Personally owned, in my former school's case.
- josephcsible 3y agoIf I found out a school deleted files from one of my kid's personal devices without my permission, I'd be livid.
- WolfeReader 3y agoThese days, sure. But back in the 90's, your TI-83 almost certainly wasn't the preferred place to store photos or other sensitive data.
- willsmith72 3y agoif a kid was playing banned games in my class, i'd want to do the same. why are kids' devices so special?
- oh_sigh 3y agoThey aren't - in no other situation would anyone be allowed to delete random information off the device of an adult who broke some private rule. The only thing they could generally do is kick you out of wherever you are and tell you to not come back.
- MeImCounting 3y agoWhy should a teacher or anyone besides the childs parents have any right to mess with in any way somebody elses property? Students are people not property.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoThey aren't, but you shouldn't delete data in general off a device that isn't yours. Confiscate it like anything else and have the school provide it instead. If the school cannot provide a necessary resource, that's a larger problem.
- Dylan16807 3y agoImagine if you snuck out your phone to do something, and the response was forcing a factory reset. If you're not treating kids' devices as special in a bad way, you'd never even think of making that the rule!
- potatopatch 3y agoTeachers took like a decade to figure out that when a kid takes out his calculator in English class it is special in a bad way.
- Flameancer 3y agoI mean I’ve definitely heard of school testing centers at least requiring graphing calcs to have their memory wiped to stop cheating. But idk if they did it themselves or forced to students to do it before entering.
