School issues free laptops

one of my student pilots, his school issued laptops to all the students.

He says that it has a camera on it, and a light to indicate when the camera is active... but the camera can only be activated when two conditions are met

1. the laptop is open and turned on with a user logged in

2. during regular class hours.

he says that sometimes... the little light will come on mid class. and its a little awkward sitting there taking notes knowing you are being watched for 10 or 15 seconds.

the students have greatly enjoyed the privilege of having the laptops... at the end of the school year on the last week of school they are returned to the school on various days of the week.

dont return your lap top?

thats fine, but you have to pay a fee which is something on the order of twice the cost of the laptop (thus there is no real benefit in stealing one)
