From what I understood, that is indeed the case.

There was another thread on here about a boy suspended/expelled from school for having a gun in his car/truck off school property and the school saying they had the right to search student's property, even off school property.

Students only found out about the snooping when a principal told a student they had a picture of him doing something wrong in his home, the suit says.

What i'm wondering is how a school managed to have this spying technology in place? Did they use a retail available software product to do this or did a consulting company custom-write this software for the school specifically?

In other words, what other entities in involved in this?


I am pretty sure there is off the shelf software that can do that already. The legality of this software may be questionable, because it either has a dual use, or because it is produced and sold outside jurisdictions that care.

"That suggests a whole new set of concerns", it sure does! And that could be part of the plan. The judge and or jury could already be bought and paid for. It doesnt make sense that a principal of a school is dumb enough to think that he is not going to get caught if he uses a photo as evidence. It must have been planned.

Definitely install a clean OS, as suggested, I recommend ubuntu if you can. if you want a system that microsoft doesn't have any backdoors installed in, that is.

if you still want windows, get vista (annoying as heck, but asks you before it does anything) and get a good security program(I reccommend lightspeed or, better yet, avast) and definitely remove remote desktop.

Other than that, I wouldn't know what to do.

Yep, was about to say this is Voyerism and Paeodophilia. No excuse to be spying on kids through remote access for whatever means, wether its a teacher or not.
