I had a similar-ish experience between 2005-2010 but not as complex. Teachers could control what programs appeared in the start menu of computers in the class as well as see what is on their screen etc. Don't remember the name of the software.
Was incredibly easy to exploit by invoking windows explorer via a Word toolbar of all things. This meant I could browse the start menu shortcuts of every classroom in the school and open whatever application I wanted even if it was disabled by the teacher.
A relative worked in IT at another school using the same software. I showed it to them and they mentioned it to the company who were installing it in their school. The company refused to believe I could exploit it so easily and even said they would buy me an xBox if it was true. Of course, it was true and when shown proof they went silent and I never got an xBox.
