I am astonished that you are defending this. Removing the software on the hard disk is circumventing the security. Removing the hard disk does alter the laptop. Taking apart a school-owned laptop can hardly be called benign.

You seem to be saying that breaking the rules is okay as long as you don't get caught. I urge you to abandon that idea immediately and start working on more constructive suggestions.
