Installing Tor on a school computer, if it's even
possible, would
almost certainly be in violation of the school's rules and policies
regarding computer use.
1. We don't know if this person is at a children's or teenager's
school or an adult's school. Colleges and universities are
often known to have filters too.
2. Frequently, censors don't bother to legislate against reading
things, they just use technical measures to stop you.
3. We don't know whether the person is using the school's computer
or his or her own computer, but connected to the schools internet.
4. There are LiveCDs.
5. If the school computers run on *nix, individual users can generally
build programs from source.
Most likely, if the school *really* doesn't want students installing
software, the permissions will be set up to prevent it.
