I think you might be right. I listened to the NPR piece - there's a part where
the interviewer asks a kid to show him the hack. As the kid is doing it he
says, "you just go to Settings, then General, then... oh it looks like
someone already did it". In other words the whole "hack" was done just by
messing around in Settings.

At our school in Australia, everyone was issued laptops last year. The rollout
began with seniors (y12) and progressed down through the years. Within about 2
hours of having the machines most of my year had installed chrome, bypassed
the web filtering, installed iTunes and copied their music to the laptops. The
school knew immediately, and came around to the classrooms to inform everyone
that we had now been restricted to 10GB of space on the laptops, and that they
had removed iTunes and chrome.

For the remainder of the year everyone found ways to play games and to log
onto various school servers and mess with things. It was more a point of we
could. A lot of people still used pen and paper, or their own laptops. The
most common use of the school issued laptops was free Internet, and thus
youtube/ pandora.

From my understanding the younger years don't act such ways as we did being in
year 12, and I think it's just a time thing. For them the school laptop is
part of their schooling equipment, but for us we went through 10yrs of
schooling without a laptop, so getting one was novel.
