-*Did you know that your every move is logged while at school? Why is this? It's quite obvious that 98.6% of all internet access is to sneakily check Hotmail so they aren't doing a particularly good job!

 *Teachers have revealed insights into what was once an impenetrable school network, showing that every teacher, and those ranking above teachers have access to a program which allows the user to see exactly what is going on on a student's "workstation", and they also have the ability to take control, and thus terrify the student into thinking his/her computer has become possessed.
