I think "write a paper" is an entirely appropriate response for hijinks. "We'll show you, you little malcontent! Have more education!" It also likely taught you the important lesson about never bragging about malfeasance.

I also think that this is exactly the sort of flier the ACLU needs to take to pick back a little at Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier. "Felony hacking" for reading a teacher's password is pretty much the proportionality doctrine in a nutshell.
