I have no problem with the school Admin limiting what software/browsers can be run on thier computer. The scary things are:

1) The school IT department apparently doesn’t know how to set up thier computers to prevent users from installing unauthorized software.

2) The teacher in question didn’t have a clue what Firefox was, even though computers (and internet browsing) are apparently being used as a learning tool in thier class.

It’s not that they were wrong for giving out the detention... it’s just sad the level of ignorance they displayed WHILE handing out the detention.

Around here, the schools' IT departments are staffed by the same people who used to run the AV deparments; IT is the dumping ground for burnt-out teachers who would have been fired if not for the unions.

In most public schools the teachers don't have a clue about any of the subjects they teach.
