For this "System Administrator" first of all. we didn't agree to such terms. never once have they said "given the laptops you're privacy will be exposed. " and if you even do you're JOB. you would need to be" Safeguarding ". you could easily go across the classroom and really be doing you're "Safeguarding" Then after that. get them on the right tab. if their resisting ,simple. call parents. then really "assert control." exposing one's privacy isn't safeguarding its just Not doing you're job. its really pathetic that teachers are just sitting in their chairs thinking they got the upper hand. all you're doing is just being lazy. have fun being the laugh of the stock! :)
