‘Fine, keep the money’: School demands students pay deposits for laptops, then refuses to give the money back, leading students to keep the laptops for themselves as payback

When we were kids, we were constantly told to always listen to the adults in our lives, most importantly to our parents and teachers. We were raised in the belief that adults always knew what was right and wrong, so we should take their words as guidance through life.

Unfortunately, that is often not the case, and surely now we can all think of examples of times adults were very much in the wrong, and went as far as taking advantage of their seniority over the kids in their lives, leading to very questionable actions.

This story is a perfect example of a case in which adults tried to take advantage of kids, which taught those kids an important life lesson–to always fight for their rights. This story is of a school that tried to steal money from its students by refusing to return their $200 deposits on school laptops. After many legal debates, the students decided to take action and claimed the laptops for themselves, stating to the school that they were all stolen. This led the students to basically buy those laptops for $200 while showing the school that it should not try to exploit its students.
