Kid gets suspended for using netsend

[IMQueen]

We had a thing similar to that at my tech school and we sent messages to each other. The teachers didn't mind as long as we did our work first. I think schools have become way uptight about kids engaging in unauthorized communication. That's why cellphones are banned in most schools. They don't like the idea of kids being able to communicate without their consent. Gotta keep the little pions in line after all.

I just envy the kid for going to a school that has computers not running on Win3.1. []

Just yesterday I got told off for repeating teacher's sentence from the lecture in a netsend message to all of the PCs of the network while in the lab

I read the story from Carl’s blog and it’s so sad.
This is pathetic! Schools are stupid when they come into a matter of internet or computer networks. I got expelled for a day for printing something from my forum, but printing was not the reason of getting expelled, the material printed was the reason. My mate and I wrote a gossip news article about this girl in our school, which had sex with 21 years guy, on her sister’s bathroom sink.

It was the stupidest thing my mates and I ever did, and it was more stupid that I decided to print it out from school, how retarded could I be?

They made a really big deal out of it and threatened me that they will call NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), and tell them to take me away from my parents because they cannot watch what I am doing on the computer. But they fortunately asked my parents if they can ban me from the computers and my parents agreed to it, and we went home.

My parents did not ban me from computers for even a minute because they knew that the news article was not as bad as my school thought. They told me that they’d ban me from the school network but they did not, and they could not either, because I do computer related courses which need school’s network 24/7.

Oh well, I deleted the new article from my forum straight after they snatched the print out from my hand. They even told me to close down the whole site or else I will be taken to the police. I did not do that, and oh well my site does not have any bad contents anyway. It was just that article which my mates and I decided to write!

I swear I would never print any irrelevant stuff from school again.

Thankfully, they read the timings in the print out so they believed that it was not written using the school network, or in the school time, and that saved a bit of the trouble.

If I could improve one thing in school, I would improve the ICT (Information Communication Technology) department.

My school would have expelled me and probably sent me to a different county or recamended to put me in a mental help facility if I did this.

There is a very nice tool for net send on windows, with many advanced functionalities, try messages sender on http://www.themobiweb.com/en/MessagesSender.html

At my school we have absolutely no rules for network messages, but if I did do it i'd get in DEEP trouble. Well.... unless I was really subtle and sent it to 1 computer.

I think there is a way to block Network messaging. Go to command prompt and type in "net stop messenger". I think that is how you block Network messages. Because my brother tried to send me a message on the network, and I didn't receive it.
Anyways, I was going to send a Network message at school once. If I did, they couln't do a thing, because they wouldn't know who's on the computers at times because there are about 10 computers in each non-technology classroom. They don't log who's on it or have person accounts for students. Only at the High Schools, hehe.

That's cool. We don't even have NetSend or nothing at my school.
