Yes, Impero is horrible. They can basically see everything that's going on.

This sounds like the re-enactment of 1984's, THE THOUGHT POLICE.

It depends. If they've paid for your computer, then they have every right to ensure it's been used properly.

If that's the case then you can refuse to install their software on it. They can then refuse to let you use it in class though.

^ This. Look, if you're doing the right thing, you shouldn't even be concerned. If you want to muck around, use another computer.

Oh I wouldn't let them install it on my PC under any circumstances, that shit is basically spyware. On their own computers they can do what they want, but no way on mine, even if I have to use pen/paper (not that you need a laptop for high school)
