LanSchool - When teachers blank your shit without a warning

[SchoolIsPrison333]

Don't you hate when teachers blank your screen out WHILE YOU ARE WORKING ON SOMETHING?
This has happened to me so many times when I was going to an Intermediate School in the computer lab.
Kind of makes me want to chuck the mouse at the teacher. (Probably not a good idea.)
But my business and marketing teacher warns that he is going to blank the screens (Put a blue screen that locks the keyboard and mouse out.)

What are your pet peeves about LanSchool or Computer Labs?

It tracks you and shit. Controlling your computer. If the teacher is feeling like being a bitch, a teacher can blank the screen and fuck your project over. I've only dealt with it once (and I didn't experience the blank screen).

Teacher can control your mouse and mess with your computer if they want to.

God dang it. The very nature of that software would call for a ban. What's worse is the harridan of a teacher I've had who abused it constantly. She's tried to kick me out of class while preventing me from saving my work and ejecting my flash drive. I still want to lock her in a room with starved crocodiles.

I don't know if LanSchool and Insight are practically identical in terms of features, but from what I've dealt with in terms of experience, Insight is just as bad -- if not worse.

Insight has the same shit where they can blank your screens whenever they want like LanSchool has, but not only that, they can block USB drives, screenshot what your doing, remote control your computer while atleast the mouse is deactivated, and even restart/shutdown/log you into your computer. Needless to say, it's fucking creepy when you're powerless to stop them. The only way you can circumvent that level of invasion is to disconnect from the Internet, unplug your LAN cable, or get your good ol' Linux USB stick out, and use that to access the Internet (assuming it's not censored, that is...) And that's probably just scratching the surface as far as I remember.

Granted, I've usually been fortunate enough to have a teacher who's not abusive when it comes to that power, but that doesn't say a whole lot.

Either way, I feel you man.

Insight is actually LanSchool but basically different icons.
That's because I googled it.

Welp, guess I've should've seen that coming considering they seemed identical when I bothered to google it...

The censorship software a school I've been to used was client-side, so Linux or even installing a different browser circumvented it.

Well, unfortunately for me, the school's computers are server-side. I've tested it with both a live Linux distribution and the Firefox browser on my USB, and whenever I tried to go on DuckDuckGo for example, it'd give me an "Insecure Connection", and IIRC it didn't work anyway if I added it as an exception.

Then again, my computer teacher might be lying about the computers in her classroom being server-side, but from what I'm able to tell, they do seem to be server-side.
