Did their brains shut down? Part II

Ok, so only "Tupac" came in the next day (she later called "Biggie" to say she should have come in and that "it was no big deal"). After talking to the director for about 15 minutes, she's allowed back into class. Later on (less than an hour and a half later), I catch her looking at porn! In Class! IN THE FRONT ROW! AND COMMENTING TO OTHER STUDENTS!! I'm just stunned, not because she's looking at porn, but because she JUST came back from the director's office and had to be "talked" to. If I was called to attention, I'd try to keep a low profile at least for the rest of that day.

So I tell her to close it, and that she knows better. I see her closing a couple of windows and turn my attention elsewhere. About 10 minutes later, another student walks by and says "Don't say I told you, but she's still looking at porn." Now, I'm just amazed. I tell her to close it, she tells me "I'm trying but they keep popping up. I have this software on my computer that allows me to replicate the students screen on my screen, so I can see what they're doing, and I connect to hers. I see that she's not closing windows, she still browsing. So tell her teacher (it wasn't my class), to check her computer. He goes over and says "My god, you're not supposed to be doing that in class! You know better. If this was a job, you'd have been fired." She claims she's trying but "they keep popping up". He says "Well, close them.", looks at his watch, and tells the class that they can leave for the day. Miraculously, she manages to close all of her windows in about 3 seconds and leaves. Yes, she was just BS'ing.

After she leaves, I go to check out her computer to make sure whatever site she was on, didn't set itself as the homepage. I notice that she had downloaded a program that promises to "erase all evidence of porn activity". I swear what do they think?
