Using a proxy of any sort is against the rules at my school.

For security, again. Any of the free proxies you're using (excluding Tor) are logging all that information you send out.

I control the communication between my laptop and my home server, making it a bit more secure than a random proxy.

It's much more reliable too, and the speeds are better. I don't feel like having to find a new proxy every time one goes down.

I do use Tor under certain circumstances, but again, my home server is faster, and my IP doesn't get blacklisted on Google like a lot of Tor nodes do. If I was doing something shady I obviously wouldn't use my home computer, but for me there's more speed and reliability than a random proxy or a Tor node. (Though a Tor node would have much better security)
What won't you kids get suspended for anyways? Be kewl drop out of skewl
Though keep in mind, tor exit nodes will sometimes store info from where you came from, your IP etc. If you are really worried on shady stuff, you could just make a program that uses Tor and jumps identities every 5 minutes or so.
