   I'm taking a quiz on my school's handbook and really wish I could answer "True" to this.

     @benjaminhollon on a machine the school provided you with, or your personal one? Because here that would be against all our privacy rights.

     @benjaminhollon is it really so that you have to give the school access to things you have saved on your personal device that you bought and paid for? That would never fly where I'm from.

     @sotolf Here's the relevant passage from the handbook:

     "Understand that computers are an extension of the
     classroom and are monitored by teachers and administrators.
     You should not assume that anything you do on a computer
     is done in secret. As acting guardians, Dalat staff have an
     obligation to monitor your activity on the school networks
     and computers and may view computer files, as deemed
     appropriate by administration."

     I assume it's only for school-related things, but it doesn't say that.

     @sotolf It doesn't say, but in High School you bring a personal one, and it's High Schoolers who take this quiz.

     They might be seeing it as justified during class time, say if you close a file as a teacher walks by and they ask to see what you were doing to make sure you weren't doing something you weren't supposed to.
