Ya know I wonder how many highschools allow personal laptops and such these days. I had a really cool study hall teacher for a couple years that let me play on my PSP so I'd just play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Final Fantasy Dissidia or Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker with a friend. Eventually in Junior year the staff started cracking down super hard on that sort of thing though, for no real reason. If someone doesn't wanna use that time on schoolwork/studying, they'll just put their head down and sleep or read/write about something unrelated to studies anyways lol.

I like it when school cracks down hard on anything fun related, it forced the kids to get creative.
My old highschool was quite a stickler for rules, my History teacher however, allows leniency if you can find a workaround or can exploit a loophole, or if you had a plan that's crazy enough to work and it had him impressed.

That's awesome! I don't think anyone in my school was clever enough to do anything too terribly interesting with the restrictions though. I personally just filled in that time reading books or on personal creative writing.

What are some shenanigans ya'll would get into? I'm sure there are some fun stories there lol. Closest I can think of is we convinced a teacher (it was a class about law but idr the title of the class itself) to turn half of one class a week into a debate period of some kind. Was fun talking, playfully arguing and picking people's brains.

Hmmm let's see, at the top of my head:
- We once cooked instant ramen for everyone in class when the teacher didn't show up.
- In my first year of high school, me and the boys escaped from school during sports week, had to do some Payday 2 planning and parkour through neighboring building to get out, only half of us made it.
- Next year sports week, they up the security and had Mr. Kane (nickname for the English teacher, he is a tall, jacked bald dude with a mean face, he looks like Kane from WWE) and few volunteer students patrolling areas outside the school. Since everyone is in a gym, we broke into one of the empty class and play PSP all day. History teacher found out on the last day and impressed enough he is not telling on us, in fact...
- Sports week year after that, same classroom, we and the same History teacher sets up a Blackjack and Poker tables, bets are made using peanuts and candies instead of chips. We only snatched individuals on the gym who look bored.
- I have a Classmate whose mom is an actual absurdly young looking parent, during a parent-teacher conference the homeroom teacher asked which middle school she was from, also a lot of dudes tried hitting up on her, it was hilarious to watch.
- After PE and we were changing, we saw someone not from our class went to the bathroom to take a shit. Then an earthquake happened....

That's some of them, my school life was crazy enough you can probably turn it into a manga.

I can't say I've done anything crazy or anything like that, but during the last week of school in senior year, one of my teachers let me bring in my PS2 and hook it up to the projector. Played some Star Wars Battlefront 2 that way with some friends, and it was really fun.

Funnily enough, one of my other teachers brought in his SNES and Street Fighter 2 and let any students that were interested play. He'd give you extra credit if you could beat him.​

When I was in school, they never once accomplished to teach me a thing about computers even with multiple schools trying. They should've just given me a PC. That would've done it.

Also, probably i-GPU laptop, great for playing everything that came out in the noughties, and that was packed decade. All the Source engine games on Steam.
