For contrast, I once got suspended from the school computer labs for two weeks for the heinous crime of... running an unauthorized executable from a flash drive.

It was Rainmeter; I was showing it to a friend. The IT guy even was like "yeah Rainmeter's pretty cool, I read about it in a magazine". But it was auto-detected and school policy, apparently.

If they were that nazi-like with their IT policy, why wasn't AppLocker turned on?

Why report when you can simply administratively deny?

Same story but with putty.

My own child will never use a school-issued laptop or school wifi.
