Title Needed - Tuckerization Offered
You know, I really wasn't planning on doing it this way, but...
I'm working on a sequel to my story "TeleAbsence," about the Virtual Reality school, and I need a title. I'm racking my brains to think of one, and I can't. The plot of this new story is that Tony is now an adult in charge of the telepresence school system and is trying to convince the California public school system to adopt the program. But one of the students has learned how to hack the system in a way that allows him to kill other students -- and the entire point of telepresence school was to eliminate violence in schools. Tony must help find the killer and convince the state commission to adopt the program.
So...any ideas? The winner can get Tuckerized in the story.

For other Tele stuff I submit TeleTypo and TeleHacker. The latter one's probably better, the first one just tickled my funny bone.
For a non-Tele title, if the hacker is bragging about it a lot I submit Boast in the Shell or Boast in the Machine.
Since students can now come to school remotely, or also because students are being murdered, causing the closing of the schools involved, and the cancelling of the telecommuting system.
Dunno.
TeleViolence, which has a similar sound to television.

Seriously, though, I think Telepresence is the best one. It implies there's a presence in the system that there shouldn't be, as well as drawing the parallel to teleabsence.
Either way, good luck with the story! It sounds awesome, and I can't wait to read it
