My school did the hour of code last year. I didn't do it, i just continued to write the code i normally. My sister's college did the hour of code, i did it when she came home a week later and i did it in like 10 minutes lol

I know it is super easy. I guess its a way to get kids interested in code but it doesn't work.

My school is very tedious with spying on us so we don't mess ‘bout on the PCs (Yet in most computer rooms it doesn’t even work) but keeps all our passwords on a spreadsheet, that is ‘hidden’ in a lot of IT teachers desks, in my first year we would constantly forget our passwords so they'd whip it out and tell us.

Also, on most of the PCs you can just unplug the ethernet cable, log in with practically any username and password, once your on the PC just plug the ethernet cable back in to get internet access back and your own a temp account with alot less restrictions. I've never tried it, because they have CCTV so if they see some kid on the logs using a TEMP account messing with the PC they'll probably know who it was. Probably ain't illegal to unplug ethernet cables, but it might be against the schools policy.

Another thing is whenever they decide to randomly change up the layout of the site teachers and students use to track homework, all the assigned tasks get wiped so you have no idea what homework you have until all the teachers re-set the tasks.

Whenever you wanna print something off in most rooms with computers, you have to leave your desk and retrieve your paper before coming back and sitting down. This has caused multiple kids to get in trouble because people have searched inappropriate things on google on their account.

Sometimes they keep mark-schemes on the school's student ‘area’ (They're are student and teacher areas, of course the teacher one is locked off to students. Basically they are hard-drives where worksheets and resources are kept. You can only copy as a student in this area.)

For a long time people brought flash-games into school on thumb-drives, the fix they had was to just ban the flash file type they were using.

Most if not all monitors have weird resolutions, are way to bright or way to dark, have had their colours messed with as well.

Most PCs have had their disk drives ripped out because people kept putting food and other stuff in there.

Multiple PCs have been bricked because someone ripped or pushed in the power button too hard, breaking it.

We have the P drive and the L drive. The P drive effectively being your user directory and the L drive being a generic network drive. They also deleted all the source files of my game engine off of my USB.

I had a backup of my engine, but that was a few changes ago. They didn't delete the compiled jar file though (I was doing it in java before) so I just decompiled it.

Really? I don't know if that would even work (and I don't want to find out).

By the way, our school's blocker is so smart it can block things through iframes and embeds, and even through my own browser

Was that a personal USB drive or a school one?

Was it an automatic thing or did a teacher come over and delete the files themselves?
