How do I reset my school Chromebook without developer mode?

Is unenrolling a school Chromebook illegal?

I have a friend who wants to unenroll her child's school Chromebook, but the school IT department says it's against their rules.

The school website says, "Chromebooks cannot be unenrolled" and that you can renew "only in person." Does this imply that unenrollment by proxy (eg, writing her child's name on an envelope and posting it through the mail) is illegal? This is not in New York, just California. And, if the unenrollment works, then can they be required to reenroll her?

What you are essentially asking about is the legality of the removal or discontinuation of an educational service/item under certain specific conditions. The most relevant case for your situation would be the decision by a student's school board to end his enrollment in the district's Gifted and Talented program. In Massachusetts that is allowed by law, where I was educated, and under many circumstances the child's guardian can do so. In that case it will also be required to enroll the student again at a later date. Another similar circumstance where this legal right can occur in schools is the elimination of gifted services, which includes providing them with alternative materials or methods of training. When students are enrolled in either of those programs, in some districts parents or guardians can make that decision to discontinue the service and/or the means provided by the school that the child is enrolled, but the decision is legally reserved for the parents or guardians of the child.

It sounds like you are being asked to use a "fudge factor" because your student's school does not want to give her an alternate means of computing access at her current school. I don't believe they are correct in making that request to you, which is why you are seeing "it's illegal to unenroll a school Chromebook" as a direct quote from their webpage.

There is a case out of Ohio (Hargett v. Board of Education) that makes a distinction between parents' right to remove their children from public school (as long as proper notice was given to the parents) and whether schools must provide alternate means of access, for situations when children were removed from special education classes under the IDEA, which also has specific provisions about when they are required to provide a different means for access (ie if he is to use a different learning tool).

How do I enable developer mode when blocked by administrator on Chromebook?

When logged into the admin account of my Chromebook, which is currently locked, and I launch the Google Developer Console it tells me the developer mode feature is blocked.

How do I get around this? Since Chrome OS 22 you can use the Developer Mode button on the left of the URL bar to enter developer mode: If the Developer Mode is blocked there should be a warning at the top right of the page: The warning will clear when Developer Mode is enabled: You can also use the command line switch --enable-dev-tools toggle the developer mode from the command line. You can enable developer mode with the gdeveloper command. I just needed to restart the developer tools before I could see them again. On an older version of ChromeOS you can simply restart the entire device.
