I blame Microsoft. :lol:
I like teachers, don't get me wrong...
I'm just saying...
Ya, that's pretty dumb.
Having worked in IT at a public school, I can understand why the teacher has a no-tolerance policy. The teacher might not have known that Firefox is just a browser, but in high school kids are notorius for trying to do things they are not supposed to be doing with their computers.
Also, I would assume the teacher was using some monitoring software to monitor the students program executions, these programs are not very smart really and renaming an executable is an easy way to not draw attention to yourself.
In this case, I think the teacher could have handled things better,
If the school has a policy that says Internet Explorer is the only browser to be used then that is collusion between the Government and Microsoft.
This is an obvious example of Microsoft's ability to manipulate children for their financial gain in the future.
If you think I'm sounding like a paranoid conspiracy theorist then consider the tax breaks that MS gets for providing low cost licenses to a MASSIVE amount of public schools.
