I was assisting a student with his work, and I noticed his IPad language was Japanese. Can you speak Japanese, I asked him (many of our students can).
"Nope." He replied.
"Then why is it Japanese?"
"Somebody changed it, and I don't know how to change it back."
Face, meet palm.
All kidding aside, though, this kind of a thing can be a problem. The students are often trying to sabotage their friend's IPads: changing the language, locking it, etc. They all use passwords, but they're not adept at keeping passwords a secret. To them, it's all good fun, but there are some potential problems. Learning could be disrupted, somebody might cross a line or provoke a reaction. More troublesome is some students disregard for personal space and property. Of course, the school has official guidelines and procedures for these issues. But, as we all know, boys will be boys.
