Came in to reply similarly, the rules and rights of students in school are not what children want them to be. Ignorant staff or not, the best way to get through school is to play by the rules. If you want to change those rules, you have to do so after growing up, going through college to be an educator and administrator, then joining into that system and changing it from there. It takes a lifetime of dedication, so just get your work done, hack elsewhere, stay on your own machine and you'll excel after school. I ran into administration on multiple occasions, and within the broader laws of corporal punishment they can exact any reasonable, or unreasonable, punishments. I've heard of schools now taxing parents if students are tardy, moving the responsibility up. You don't have the same rights as an adult when you're in school, you don't get to do what you want, conversely when you do screw up you don't get as heavy handed a punishment an adult might. Imagine the same scenario, but instead of school, this is the place you work, and instead of a school administration its the IT department bringing you in. You'll lose your job pretty darn quick right? Even if you're innocently exploring, cross the wrong person and you'll get cut. Additionally, instead of complaining about the school we should be congratulating the kid. He or she has bucked the system, questioned authority, pushed their boundaries, found limits, and circumvented them. Don't come to their defense, it will do them no good to continue growing, instead help them back up, pat them on the back and say 'good job'. He or she is a welcome addition to society! Congrats on questioning authority and sticking to what you believe, I can't wait to see what you do.
