At my school, the login is through your student ID number, which is openly displayed on the IDs we are required to wear around our neck, and the "password" is our birthday, which isn't that hard to find out.
All the files that control this thing are openly available to all who have access to the school network. Read-only of course...
Still though, it's a good idea in practice, but I still believe it to be an invasion of privacy. All this students have no rights talk is crap. Students are people too, even if they are under 18. If they want to fail, let them fail in peace. Save the severe beatings for report cards.

Actually... according to Microsoft's new, in development p2p IM thing... there are only 3 Degrees of separation , not 6.
But of course, are they really degrees of separation? Wouldn't six degrees of connection or something make more sense?
