The sad state of affairs (and having worked in tech support for most of my adult life, and now working for a company that specializes in content filtering) is that the VAST majority of the population is horribly inept when it comes to even the basic operation of their computers.
From my personal experience the worst offenders are usually involved in education. Computers have been forced down most teachers throats and very few have any idea how to utilize them at all, even when they are essential to the job. She probably HAD to have access to the computer simply to record attendance, which is most likely tied directly to the teachers login credentials (thus the adamant warnings not to shut it down). The sad truth of the matter is that most of our educational facilities are grossly underfunded and IT is still seen as an afterthought in many of the school districts across the country. The consequence is that any sane administrator with any real expertise or talent does NOT stay in education for long simply because they can be paid so much better at any number of companies that are competing for their skill sets.
This case is general is a complete joke, and not to abuse that poor teacher but I've seen first hand that people simply ARE that stupid when it comes to the technology in their worlds, I sincerely hope that they prevent her being turned into a scapegoat for others complete ineptitude.
