- ThomasPalmer, on 12/16/2007, -42/+1286We weren't allowed to use Firefox either in high school because we could use it's proxy feature. Of course if we wanted to use proxies, it would just be easier to go to a proxy site they haven't blocked. I was not a fan of our Technology Department.
EDIT: I am going to give that school a call on Monday, I encourage others to do so as well. - inactive, on 12/16/2007, -11/+1044That teacher is from the tech department and he doesn't know Firefox...
- happybot, on 12/16/2007, -4/+715But foxfire.exe sounds so dangerous.
- McBradd, on 12/16/2007, -6/+611You know, 'Firefox.exe' is just a gateway drug to 'The Pot'
- inactive, on 12/16/2007, -10/+571Dugg for foxfire.exe
- tiffdawnn, on 12/16/2007, -80/+551That's hilarious. Granted the kid should have listened to the teacher and has no respect for his elders, but the teacher sounds like a dumbass writing it up that way.
- doshindude, on 12/16/2007, -9/+376What a trooper, taking one for the team.
Keep on firefoxing. - akash8m, on 12/16/2007, -22/+383One child sent to Juvenile center for bringing a steak knife to use in lunch and now this. Glad to see the school officials are working hard to improve the school (NOT). But they let pedophiles teach in the school and have bad teachers stay forever because of the unions.
- Jeffler, on 12/16/2007, -3/+323Wait, so you're telling me this Mizolla Foxfire I'm using isn't real?
- Giblet2, on 12/16/2007, -9/+319lol.. digg to the rescue!~!! its the A-Team!!
- Zoshchenko, on 12/16/2007, -8/+310Another brick in the wall.
- Bitties, on 12/16/2007, -5/+278FireFox.exe sounds like a virus to me. I better check Microsoft.com to see if they more information...
- mlfoley, on 12/16/2007, -11/+279Elders have to earn their respect, just like anyone else.
- phenz, on 12/16/2007, -2/+242Yep same here.. I had a nice Saturday morning detention and lost my study hall release for using that evil Firefox! The school called it a "hacking tool" to get past their blocks :/
- Kbiscu1t, on 12/16/2007, -9/+242Thats hilarious! I recently got an office referral for using the command prompt. They shut down the entire school network because of me :P
They need to get a separate administrator to deal with this stuff. - JamesWilson, on 12/16/2007, -4/+220Just use IE Skins and icons! That is how i tricked my mom into liking firefox :)
- macwisdom, on 12/16/2007, -38/+249I hope the kids parents/guardian jumped down that dip-***** throat.
- cerilia, on 12/16/2007, -10/+213Having gone through our educational system not too long ago, I can promise you that some of those "teachers" don't deserve respect.
- liquidpele, on 12/16/2007, -15/+172The image seems faked to me.
What kind of a teacher would go into detail about what the student said regarding it being a better browser? They would have just said the student did not follow instructions. I call BS, it's gotta be a hoax. - turpenine, on 12/16/2007, -7/+163d- team, don't kid yourself.
- postpawl, on 12/16/2007, -17/+157Yep, he got that detention for disobedience.
- richardbeasimer, on 12/16/2007, -6/+138A link to the school's website. The names listed appear to be correct. Bitch up a storm, people.
http://www.bigspring.k12.pa.us/staff_directory.php ... - pero69, on 12/16/2007, -1/+129and now the kid is going to get a few months of saturdays for posting his detention slip online and having people "get revenge for him".
- Sumyunguy, on 12/16/2007, -12/+135Mr. John Scudder - High School Principal - jscudder@bigspring.k12.pa.us
Mr. Christopher Boyd - Assistant Principal - cboyd@bigspring.k12.pa.us
Mr. Charles Smith - Assistant Principal - csmith@bigspring.k12.pa.us
Mr. Joseph (Sam) Barnouski - HS Technolgy Ed. Teacher/Graphics Communications - jbarnouski@bigspring.k12.pa.us - victorycig, on 12/16/2007, -6/+128If you're too lazy to call, send an email to the teacher who assigned the detention:
http://www.bigspring.k12.pa.us/staff_directory.php ... - datdamonfoo, on 12/16/2007, -16/+138The possessive form of its has no apostrophe.
- evanmyers, on 12/16/2007, -1/+116I actually started using firefox at school. They deleted it from my account and told me if I used it again, I'd get an in school suspension.
- Me0wmix, on 12/16/2007, -4/+114Dugg, just for wanting to see the posts on how their call to the school went.
- mooseofshadows, on 12/16/2007, -2/+109Wow, at my high school we're encouraged to use firefox.
- MewtwoReturns, on 12/16/2007, -11/+117Saturday detentions are still LEGAL? What is wrong with this country?
- Bando, on 12/16/2007, -1/+99Lol, reminds me of how my brother made a link on my grandfathers desktop to firefox with the IE icon and Internet Explorer as the name.
- anarchytv, on 12/16/2007, -3/+99black is the new black, and firefox.exe is the new back orrifice
first they take your guns, then they take your steak knives, then they take your books, then they take your browser.... - liquidpele, on 12/17/2007, -4/+94CONFIRMED TO BE A HOAX.
So, I was right and you ***** that buried me can suck it.
http://www.bigspring.k12.pa.us/news.php?action=vie ... - victorycig, on 12/16/2007, -0/+89I'm trying to be respectful about it. I don't want to get this kid in any more trouble. But I'm not your dad. You can write whatever you want.
- FadieZ, on 12/16/2007, -3/+88SPARTANS! Let us dial with honor
- inactive, on 12/16/2007, -4/+82If the kid was doing his work then I don't see the problem. This is a case where the instructor knew less than the kid. If you want to complain about it then send a letter to the Principal:

http://www.bigspring.k12.pa.us/ - archistudent, on 12/16/2007, -9/+87"By action of the School Board Discipline committee, any student refusing to attend detention will be assigned to a mandatory Saturday morning detention from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Failure to serve a Saturday morning detention results in a three day in-school suspension."
Not complying with the system will leave black marks on their student record. It seems that administrators have found a means to force compliance among the student population. Comply comply comply (submit submit submit). Accept their lesser punishment and incriminate yourself. This school has set the crimes and the punishments, and they will always win at this rate. - dinobot, on 12/16/2007, -0/+76I work at a school district's IT department so I'm getting a kick out of these replies - I think I'll drop the asst. principal a line using my work's email just for kicks

Why don't we let her know what we think of this. - iDiggIt42, on 12/16/2007, -2/+73Hear that sound?
That's the joke going over your head. - gamersedge, on 12/16/2007, -5/+74Was he running it off of a pen drive or anything? IF so i could understand that. Also, please get this on diggnation, this would be so funny. Also, on digg, diggnation is marked as a spelling error.
- altrego99, on 12/16/2007, -6/+70Thanks, I'll store these emails in order to test the new spam bot that I'm working on when it is finished.
- libertao, on 12/16/2007, -21/+85The ever-reaching hand of micro$oft....
/sarcasm - deraj610, on 12/16/2007, -2/+63that'll teach that kid to use such advanced and dangerous technology...
- paul9290, on 12/16/2007, -35/+96If the teacher needs to be schooled on Firefox, I SAY DIGG let's teach him!
LoL - littlshadow, on 12/16/2007, -9/+69That's right! We need to keep teaching kids blind obedience. It's working so well for us as a society now right?
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -1/+55Even better. Don't JUST complain to the principal. Complain to the teacher herself. That is absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to send her an email right now.
