Education & Reference Mass suspension at a Sydney high school

4 days for using twitter, remember back in year 7 a bunch of guys hacked a teachers account and used it to download bulk pornography, think a few others downloaded games etc. Think one copied it to his own personal drive and got busted, got his account banned for a fair while with no out of school punishment.... Either way most high schools internet setups is easy as to get around, my old high school you just had to load firefox off a thumbdrive = free internet and no filter.

Hell some students managed to work out how to access the schools resource drive and loaded it with games, wc3, counterstrike etc, combined with a program like hidewin all of a sudden every class in the pc rooms became lan gaming sessions. Issue was it always spread too far and got busted, most schools systems of hiding drives and disabling access to things can be gotten around with simple batch files. Simple matter is schools need to work on their security and honestly if students aren't allowed to access social sites then it should be barred for teachers as well.

Main point was the school never really punished this, they understood it would happen and gave warnings at worst you might get a detention. More the the point the only way students get the teachers passwords is either careless teachers setting weak passwords or entering in front of students, or really clued on students installing keyloggers on the pcs...
 
I never got suspended. Don't understand the punishment really.

Most of the kids who don't behave are the ones that don't want to be in class, so by suspending them from the school, you're just giving them a holiday or by doing it internally and shoving them in a room for days, they're still out of the classroom and free to sit around not doing anything.

Seems like you're giving them just what they want.
 
Not necessarily. It identifies the problem to the parents and underlines the seriousness of it to everyone involved. It takes you one step closer to expulsion, which most kids don't want regardless of how much they hate school.

It's also for the benefit of the other students. They don't have to deal with them while they're not there.

Anyway, most schools continue to assign work to suspended kids that has to be completed and submitted for marking upon return, so it's not really a holiday.

I think most high schools now favor the in school suspension, you get removed from class and basically publicly shamed by having to do all your normal work while seated in front of the coordinators / principals offices.
 
Not really. I won't go into it but after what he did, there'd be certain things you'd have trouble trusting your kid with until they got a bit more mature as well.
 
Yeah, I copped two days for using the administrator's password to install games on my school laptop.

I think even after all the suspensions (think there were about 5-10 or so) the password's still tMn798Z. :D

I was even sitting next to a mate in Chemistry today who had this program called TOR, which was basically Firefox. No internet credit used, no blocked sites. Full of win. I'm getting it off him. ;)
 
lol that sucks for the people who got suspended. at my school we regularly go on youtube, we are often allowed to go on, in music the other day we were able to go on youtube and just look up music videos to 'expose ourselves to different styles'. so facebook is blocked, everybody just uses their phone/ipod anyway. in geography i had one tab with twitter and one tab looking up stuff about johnny depp. teacher sees goes "what? u? what that?" i say nothing, he gives me a weird look and thats it. nobody rlly gets in trouble for computer related reasons at my school. it helps that we use netbooks cos u can just move them to an angle the teacher cant see, i guess.

Tor is the shit. Gets around proxy. Pity it has been blocked on our school laptops.
 
Back in my day Netscape was the main browser and the schools network was craptastic. In the early years we were allowed to play games (DooM 1 & 2, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D etc) providing the school work was done. They cracked down a few years later, and we were not allowed to play them.

Internet accessibility was increasing (towards the late 90's), file transfers were starting to pick up. As was access and use of a digital camera, so while it was officially used to capture images from school competitions (sports or whatnot).... various people also had access to it and would take photos of people in odd situations. I had to get a few suspect images of me removed from the schools network.

While at the same time i photoshopped a few images from those that were available and printed out posters that had random captions around the school. Most of them were in good spirits (mocking the football them they followed).
