I'm still irritated about when I was a youth I found a somewhat obvious security hole, and took advantage of it in a mildly funny way, the staff just punished me.

You weren't supposed to be able to change the desktop background, but for some reason MS Paint had a "set to background" option that worked. So I set the background to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the icons and start menu. Later, the teacher thought the computer was broken because "nothing was working".

I think it could've been a good teaching moment. A talk about not messing shared resources up, and channel my interests somewhere productive. Nope. Just a lecture and week long library ban. Disappointed.

the mistake there is expecting the education system to focus on actually make an effort to teach kids guided by their individual qualities rather than reward/punish everyone that doesnt fit the cost-effective and efficient mold

wouldnt want to treat schools as anything other than a business nor pay teachers appropriate wages, now would we?
