“Other schools reporting the problem were Westchester High and
theValley Academy of Arts and Sciences in Granada Hills.
Students began to tinker with the security lock on the tablets

them," said Roosevelt senior Alfredo Garcia.
Roosevelt students matter-of-factly explained their technique Tuesday
outside school.The trick, they said, was to delete their personal
profile information.With the profile deleted, a student was free to
surf.
Soon they were sending tweets, socializing on Facebook and
streaming music through Pandora, they said.”
