It’s also a peeve of mine when I see a freeper who doesn’t have a reasonable guess where Longview is from the getgo and so I look to see where in the US that freeper lives to figure why they have never heard of Longview TEXAS...east Texas between Tyler and Shreveport LA

used to be serious oil patch...especially neighboring Upshur county

and those freepers are SOOOOOO BUSY....they can’t put up a wuttle flag about where they live just to give some context to their posting

i think you and humblegunner (who I guarantee knows where Longview is) should hook up

he has a pet peeve too...of a sort

“Having the data on kids that are so mobile is going be one of the keys to us being able to manage behavior. By knowing their background, we have a foundation instead of us having to go from ground zero and guessing about the kids background,” said Grand Prairie Deputy Superintendent Vern Alexander.

Uh, isn't this what your permanent record is for? Don't they share information regarding grades and test scores when a child moves from district to district? Wouldn't a record of incidents, such as trips to the Principal's office or detention give a pretty good idea of the type of student you were admitting to your school? This reeks of more private information being farmed out to unsecured employees of a paid vendor instead of the school doing their job with available resources.

I thought putting Texas in the keywords and category was enough. I guess not.

I did not bother to inform stanne..He had enough time to post that reply. I would have told him about antivirus programs, too, but I was busy.
;o)

I’m still trying to get my mind around the serious implications and consequences of this database following a child around. Labels can stick even when wrongly placed.
