    pressing X to doubt that you only help keep information on students that you’re required to by law.

    If we were to store private information or data that falls outside the boundaries of the law, we would be subject to arrest for unlawfully retaining children’s data. I want to emphasize to both you and OP that schools are legally obligated to store this information, and that I strongly advise against tampering with a device owned by the school.

    I work for a school and I provision these types of devices. You do not want to modify or change anything about them, as it probably breaks your acceptable use policy. If they allow you to bring your own device, then do that. But do not change the device they give you in any manner. Just don’t use school property for things you want to be private. It works the exact same way with anything owned by any organization you may work for in the future. They own the device, they set the terms. And your excuse of ‘it does not break policy’ or ‘it is not against the law’ is ridiculous, as policy is intentionally broad for this reason, and the law requires you to not interrupt normal classroom activities. If the school lets you, bring your own device. Otherwise, tough luck, seems like you won’t be able to play your games.









  • It’s really interesting how some people wrongly claim that trans folks are more likely to commit mass shootings. The thing is, there aren’t many trans people out there, so if just one of them is involved in a shooting, it messes up the statistics. Basically, trans people aren’t going around shooting up places in any meaningful numbers, and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t understand statistical biases like insignificant number bias or sample selection bias work.

    edit: Depending on how you count a mass shooting, and if you count the person in denver who (allegedly) changed their identity to avoid hate crime charges.
