Middle and High school kids are flashing ROMs on their phone by themselves these days
No.
Some do. They other 98% are absolutely clueless and wouldn’t even know that there are alternatives to the stock OS. In fact they wouldn’t even know what an OS is or that “Android” isn’t a device brand.
cares about anything other than students committing violence
Many are just like bad police. They care about showing off how well they work by catching someone. Doesn’t matter that there wasn’t a problem in the first place or that there are actual real problems that could use the ressources. As long as they can catch and punish someone (for purely imaginary stuff even…) to pretend how well they are doing their job they are happy.
Yeah this is spot on. Tech literacy is at an all time low, today’s kids and young adults are having to be taught during work orientation what a file browser is now.
People who are currently between the ages of 30 and 60 are the generation that learned how to use their technology effectively. Older than that and you’re likely to be the “clueless boomer” trope, younger than that and you’re likely to be a tablet baby.
Not to mention that in my experience at least, public school teachers cared about basically every single petty problem except for the ones that would have actually benefitted anyone. You’ve been punched straight in the face every single day for two years by the same bully? I sleep. One of the girls wore shorts this morning and has visible knees? Get sent straight home immediately. Do not pass Go. This is a sin that cannot be tolerated.
All that to say, this story is definitely made up but there are places in America today where it could happen 100% as written.
I think this story is fake as fuck, but with regards to school resource officers and the school I went to, if it was a non white kid it definitely would’ve received more scrutiny. It’s hard to say, because you couldn’t have laptops period when I was in highschool.

All time low, so far. We haven’t seen the full might of the generation that was raised by Tiktok and educated by chatbots.
Have you seen Wall-E?

Regardless, as evidence for your point, remember when they arrested a 14 year old kid for having a DIY clock they thought was a bomb? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Mohamed_clock_incident
