 @glyph @mhoye @mcc Even experimenting on the school level with allowing / encouraging / helping students to turn the "expired" devices into open ones by running open operating systems on them isn't allowed in my district (#yyc #YYCbe ). Although individual schools fund device purchasing (often through parent fundraising) they are re-possessed by the school board upon expiry. 11 comments
@ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc (p.s. yes I tried personally to do this at my local school .. is how I learned this sad policy) @ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc They also claim "linux devices aren't allowed on our network" although they stopped saying that right after I pointed out Android's lineage... @ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc I've not heard that articulated clearly. Basically pretty boring: "it's more work", I think :(  @ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc Logic doesn't work against giant bureaucracies :( @meejah @ellenor2000 @glyph @mhoye @mcc All that said, if any other #yyc dwellers have the intestinal fortitude to help with this, I'm absolutely game. I'm the wrong person to lead this, though; I'm not going to keep my mouth shut enough :/ at the required meetings...but I will help technically and directly with students. |
