So Frustrated with the Learning Situation

Well, once again we find that students with poor grades or frequent absenteeism are not necessarily ignorant or ill-advised, but perhaps simply because of 'boredom'.

So Frustrated with the Learning Situation Overview

• 12-year-old CEO and unique language learning app

According to a statement made last week on Facebook and Orchard View Schools' official website - one of Michigan's largest school system, Jim Nielsen, general manager of Orchard View said that the IT team of The school has noticed signs of a serious data breach in their PowerSchool student portal system.

When this data breach was discovered, the school decided to open a comprehensive investigation and found that there were deliberate changes to the data on grades and records. Attendance for students of the school is implemented. At the same time, the investigation results also show that this violation "appears to be limited to the Orchard View Schools high school system."

• Tanmay Bakshi, a 14-year-old boy, became an advisor to IBM, an AI expert

The school board has decided to send written notice to parents of suspicious students involved in the incident. However, it is not clear whether the case will be brought before the legal authority or will be handled internally. It is known that this incident has not caused significant damage, but in terms of the nature is extremely serious, so it also received great attention from the public.

This is not the first time that students in the US have successfully accessed unauthorized school systems to change their score data. Remember that in 2017, a male student also successfully infiltrated the data management system of Tenafly High School, NJ to change the transcript and submit his application to university. In 2018, another male student was also able to break into Bloomfield Hills High School's student management system to change grades, attendance records and lunch balances.

Although these are all cases of illegal data breaches that deserve to be dealt with and condemned, it is fair to say that we still have to give nods of recognition to the talents of these boys, just that talent is temporarily not used for the right purpose. If trained and oriented well, these students can absolutely become network security experts 'make things' in the future!
