The wiki isn't blocked because it doesn't have this stuff in it.

Also, I'm in trouble because I pressed F12 (Inpsect Element) and now I feel that the teachers are probably going to disactivate the Ctrl, Alt, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, Delete and Insert. If that happens, I can't do Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V (which I use VERY often)

It's because teachers won't want us to do this

Our computers run Windows 7 with Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.

They take 30 minutes to boot (I'm not kidding here. The teachers come to school early to boot the computers so they will be ready when class starts.)


What I can do on them: lots of trolls. One plug to turn off all of the internet in one room.



Also, I got into a debate that took half the class period (an hour) with our computers teachers about why we should use Chrome as default. It ended in Chrome being installed on the computers the next school year but he still “highly recommended” that students use IE.

SCHOOL COMPUTERS

Discuss about your school's computers. It can be about their OS, what you can't do on them, what browser they run, how long you have and what you do on them.

RULES:

• Do not say your school's name or location
  Do not say any of your teachers names
  Follow this
  

At my little brother's school, they are still using Optiplex GX260s and most of ‘em run Windows XP! At my school, for general use we have Optiplex GX620s or Optiplex 725’s or something. For 3D CAD we have these HP Ultrabooks with an i7 and 16 GB of RAM.

Optiplexes with XP were like the computers of schools.

MLP is a bit old for high-schoolers, but I see a 12th-grade girl do MLP every day. She sits right next to me in the computer class. I'm baffled at how she still likes it. I'm still in primary school (but I'm going to high school next year)
FNAF was a trend at my school for about a day. For us, it was much longer, but way less people were talking about it because everyone either said stuff about Minecraft or Call Of Duty
FPS is a bit laggy and intense, so this would probably be the only controversial thing.
CCs - No one has heard of these, but they're okay. same
RPing is controversial, but it's okay at my school as long as it doesn't get out of hand. actually no-one at our school (expect mine) has heard of it
Fan Fics - I don't know what these are. me either, but I heard it on Scratch

The only thing that's really banned is Yu-Gi-Oh!. There was a trend last year that got WAY too out of hand. Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't even a trend for our school. Only about 20 people know about it and 3 collect the cards.

My friends found this online Minecraft thing that literally downloads a free Minecraft Launcher JAR to your computer, and literally opens Minecraft. For free. I think they hit an illegal copy or something. A bunch of people are literally using it right now, and the community they're developing is quite interesting. Even more absurd, the school doesn't block the website or anything! I can't believe they somehow found a workaround to play Minecraft with each other for free. Talk about absurd…

There are schools who still use Internet Explorer? At my school, we all use Chrome and IE is discouraged unless you have to use it. You do get freedom of what browser you use, but almost everyone uses Chrome.

Well, pretty much everyone in my school uses IE still. As I said, it was just installed this year though. Most of them aren't so tech-y, and since they didn't add a shortcut of Chrome to the desktop, most people just use IE because it is the only browser on the desktop lol.

And, if you download “free minecraft” if you get a virus uninstalling mc won't get rid of the virus most likely.

Anyway, I've heard that our school is getting even more iPads than they do already. Soon, iPads will likely outnumber computers at our school (but PC is much better).

@TheHockeyist

Yes, schools still use IE and “highly recommended” it. My school's lifted the “IE ONLY!” rule and we can use Chrome but only the tech-savvy people use it and there are only two of them (one of them's me). Everyone else just listens to what the teachers say and still use IE. They don't even want to use the Start Menu and Google Chrome is not on the desktop which is why everyone expect 2 people use IE.

Exactly! The teachers are like “no phones in school, give me it” and then 5 minutes later they say “talk with your groups about it for a minute” and then goes to text lol.
