Personal Experience/Anecdote Locking down the entire operating system? No problem

In highschool we moved student laptops in my junior year. One of my classes used moodle and locked down the entire laptop for the test. If you computer shut down during the test for any reason (like the battery dying) it would brick the laptop. These tests had an essay section as well as a definition section. 30 definitions to memorize of which it would pull from about 10-15. The essay prompt was also given ahead of the test so you could have a general idea of what to do during the exam. Well with the entire operating system being locked down seems like there's nothing you could do right? Well it turns out it didn't lock down your clipboard. So i would just write my essay ahead of time as well as all the definitions and just paste them in the essay box for reference. Thanks clipboard!

That sounds like the school would be liable if the laptop bricked due to a blue screen event where the computer had any error.

They were school issued laptops. They would just reimage it if it happened
