That's typically how it works, if you're on the clock for someone else then they own the copyright.
When you are "on the clock" it is because you have a contractual agreement with your employer.
High school students do not have a contractual agreement with the school, and since they are not 18, they are unable to consent to a contractual agreement.
A principal has all kinds of power over your life as a student. Litigation takes time. And a principal can easily destroy your chances of getting into college or tarnish your record (before litigation can straighten everything out)
So presumably college admissions people don't read the internet and they don't watch the news? Someone who is hiring a journalist will not bother to check out the journalist's online reputation? Really? If a school administrator succeeds in doing what you say, the public overwhelmingly favors the student's position and the buzz on facebook and other social media will be inevitable. Whether you agree or not, your internet profile is an indelible part of your "permanent record" and will be factored into decisions.
there's no threat of a lawsuit, only of a suspension.
if there is no threat of a lawsuit, which is the only legal mechanism that the school can use to have the pictures taken down, then the school would not have threatened the kid with suspension. The suspension is not a legal relief for the posting of the photographs, a lawsuit is.
The school owned the camera he used. Therefore all work from that camera belongs to the school. If he had used is own camera, then they are his to keep. Just like in the work place, any personal data on company computers used on company time belong to The Company and not you.
the school loaned him the camera. if I rent a camera, do the pictures belong to the rental store?
"just like in the work place" NO, it is NOT just like the work place.
In the work place, the worker has a contractual agreement with their employer that governs the rights of the employee in such matters
High school students are not of the age of consent and thus they are unable to make a contractual agreement, in any case, no such agreement exists.
Most professional sports teams copyright their games. Even tweeting the score can get you in trouble. I guess this is no different.
can we count the differences?
professional sports teams play in private settings where access is limited to ticket holders
professional sports teams are paid for their work, they have signed contracts explicitly detailing their rights to their likeness in photographs and other media
high school sports teams play in public settings where anyone is free to view and take pictures
high school athletes are not paid for their work, they have not signed any contractual agreements governing the distribution of their likeness in photographs
if joe sports reporter is free to take pictures for the newspaper
if the parents are free to take photos of their own children
then surely the students are free to take pictures
Java is not functional, so lambdas break the paradigm.
Java is NOT not-functional. You have been able to mimic most of the behavior of lambda expressions with anonymous classes for quite some time now. You can most certainly code up functional programs in java if you want to.
Java was the first language on the scene that came with a top-to-bottom marketing rollout. They had certification, training, professional tutorials and classes, sponsored competitions, commercials and corporate branding, full page ads in trade magazines, and a one-size-fits-all modular system of components to mix and match and fit every need, and you could even become certified as a java evangelist - that used to be a real job at some corporations.
okay you probably weren't around in the 1960s and 1970s but FORTRAN and COBOL had all of those things back then.
...if you have vision impairment and you're using some sort of screen reader, the python whitespace syntax rules are completely lost on the screen reader software.
This is why you have QA people, you pay them to tell you the things that everyone else is afraid to tell you. Management pays more attention when QA reports security problems, because it is their job.
There is a point, if passwords are sent encrypted over insecure channels, for instance a VPN connection. Encrypted passwords can be brute-force solved, it may take years. So if your 25 year veteran employee has never changed their VPN password, the hackers have potentially had 25 years to brute force his password.

if the football field can be viewed from public property (the sidewalk next to the school) then there is no expectation of privacy.
we played on a public field, open to the public
even in private school the fields are usually 100% visible from public property (the sidewalk)
if people can watch the football game from public property, there is no expectation of privacy

where professional licensure of at least the design part of IT and SW development could prevent problems
this is like saying that professional licensing of auto mechanics will reduce the incidence of drunk driving
yeah there's a system that for sure will never ever be breached by hackers
I would hand the letter to my lawyer, who would then work with credit bureaus to clean up fraudulent activity on my credit report.
does he do this kind of stuff for free?
what a great way for IT professionals to get rich: breach their own employer's computer systems and steal their own data.
from their web site:
"In its 77th year of service, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield is a not-for-profit, non-stock health services company"
Otherwise nice looking software that functions until the memory leaks cause it to crash.
if you approach java with the concept that it does not suffer from memory leaks, you're just deluding yourself.

have a ton of easily overlooked side effects. Debugging can be a nightmare.
you're clearly not very famliar with java, it was expressly designed with the intent of not having "easily overlooked side effects"
perhaps you might be able to tell us what some of those "side effects" are?
It is pretty easy to read Java code and figure out what it means.
Many who deal with the "enterprise" software would simply laugh at the statement.
do you have any actual basis for your comparison? do you have any enterprise-level applications written in any other language that you can compare to?

How badly has the NSA sabotauged the border defences of the USA?
They have sabotauged your ability to spell!
for a hypothetical world where users adhere to anything you demand of them no matter how intrusive or onerous that is.
maybe you can get a few of your friends to help you beat on that straw man, that's not what I said AT ALL
And these probabilities are the same whether you change your password or not!
the probability of the cracked password working is ZERO if the password has been changed
If you're trusted with private data, then I swear on my left nut I will destroy you if you breach that trust.
summary execution without jury trial or even an arrest, yes indeed you are a pillar of civilization
This is why you have QA people, you pay them to tell you the things that everyone else is afraid to tell you. Management pays more attention when QA reports security problems, because it is their job.
don't do things that would allow it to become compromised by an attacker,
but there really isn't much point to all of this if you can't even plug your computer into the internet at all
