Unfortunately, many IT dept employees do not give much credence to guidelines, rules, and laws, thinking they will never be caught. Imagine them being able to peer into your daughter's bedroom at night, without her knowing this? This is criminal.

So true...

 

 

 

Ever wonder if the clerks who empowered Adolph Hitler.... hadn't?

It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman

to be aware of whether or not his services are being used

as a means to accomplish evil ends -

and to act accordingly.

That's because many think they are the smartest guy in the company...and they act like that...all friggin day.

I understand your concern about this situation, but object to your broad-brush condemnation of IT departments. Certainly, the "technology" department of this school should be brought up on charges.

IT departments are typically the "white-hats" of computing, ensuring the safe and effective use of a given information infrastructure, and enforcing the information security policy dictates of the organization for which they work. Both the school administration and tech dept are at fault and I hope they get their butts handed to them in court.
