My highschool physically removed the right mouse button from the mice, because we were right clicking to make text files that we'd rename as batch files to get a command prompt open.

Some people would just bring their own mouse in to get past the defences.

Doesn't seem extremely effective unless you also remove the F2, F10, Shift, and Alt keys from the keyboard.

Oh and it wasn't. That was the least of the school's problems though.

They also used a surveillance system called LanSchool, which sent out all of its commands entirely unencrypted and unauthenticated, so people would spoof the remote takeover command and steal exams from teachers' accounts. It ended up being a whole thing my senior year.

This thread is making me remember how incompetent my old school district used to be with technology. Once upon a time, a friend of mine got detention for opening a command line and running `tree`. The teacher said that he was hacking the computer.

The name of the class? "Digital literacy".
