Gazette: Churchill students hack school computer, change grades

  1. People are going to be surprised how prevelant it is system-wide for kids to use the teachers computers. It does not make sense for teachers to turn off their computers everytime they leave the room because the long boot up time. Sometimes, in some schools, it takes 15 minutes for a computer to boot up.
