    I like how a school thinks it’s their responsibility to give out punishment here. Like, they think it’s in their scope. What other obscure things do they handle in the community with their Letters of Punishment? Maintaining hedge heights? Sentencing criminals? Ensuring fresh undies are worn?

        Ah, I remember this. The more you dig into it, the worse it gets; The footage from students’ laptops was kept on servers in a room that wasn’t access controlled, so basically anyone in the school could walk in and plug a USB drive into them. And that’s exactly what happened; Investigators found evidence that footage had been copied to external devices and wiped from servers.

        But they couldn’t narrow down who did it, because there was no access control on the server room… If the room had a badge reader, they could have compared timestamps to badge swipes. And if the room was access controlled, then only authorized personnel who worked on the servers would have been given access in the first place. But instead, they just let every single teacher, administrator, and janitor have a key to the room.

        It’s like if someone intentionally went out of their way to ensure pedos had easy access to cameras in kids’ bedrooms.

          The lawsuit was filed after 15-year-old high school sophomore (second year student) Blake Robbins was disciplined at school for his behavior in his bedroom.[6][14] The school based its decision to discipline Robbins on a photograph that had been secretly taken of him in his bedroom, via the webcam in his school-issued laptop. Without telling its students, the schools remotely accessed their school-issued laptops to secretly take pictures of students in their own homes, their chat logs, and records of the websites they visited.

          Incredibly gross.

      This. I mean the primary responsibility of schools is to teach and certify academic achievement. They should never withhold certification on non-academic grounds.
