I just got an email from my son’s teacher saying she had to take his chromebook away because he’s found a way to disable the software the school district uses to monitor their chromebook use

I also learned his school had to stop using some quiz software because he taught all his friends to go into the web inspector and cheat

As a parent, am I suppose to be upset with this? Because a 12yo going on github and looking for backdoors in software shows real initiative... I am awfully proud
