You pay a tuition and part of that tuition goes to time allowed on the computer to do your assignments.
its not they dont wanna help, but in their position i doubt they wanna loose everything they worked for so i can settle a score with the admin. i didnt violate any school policy what so ever. me an the admin got in an arguement during the tech club, he got mad, he deleted my hard drives remotely, and i retaliated and sent him a virus thru his wifi connection. so stopping me from finishing my final is his last resort, and im not gonna be a bitch about it and complain to the school, im gonna dig it out with him. simple as that.

From our rules:

This thread has crossed that line, so I will close it.
