Not to mention... Kids aren't morons. I remember being in high school. Who do you think controlled the network? The math teacher turned Admin, who though that a public network drive was a safe and convenient way to store student files, or the geeky students who eat, sleep, and breath computers? If you guess the kids, you'd be correct.
Now, "0wning" a high school network is pretty trivial, but tie hall passes, late slips, leave-school-early type forms, and the like to said system, and you have some problems. You've just created a new way to skip school or class with out the administration being anymore the wiser.
Perhaps Japan has better funding for schools and can actually hire a decent admin. However, if this was implemented in America, and I was still in High School, I would have enjoyed every second of it!
