I'm Sorry Your Child Is A...

Apparently I offended a student by making him apologize in a way that wasn't completely meaningless. If parents want us to take over their role at school, they have to give us the latitude to do what we need to do. But when a parent complains because we actually hold a student accountable for something they've done, it becomes very difficult to do much of anything. We need parents and students to realize that we are all working together toward a common goal: education. Teachers are not out to get students, nor are we acting on power trips. When did education become such an adversarial endeavor?

End rant.

On a brighter note, the Red Wings are 3-0 and one win away from the Stanley Cup finals! I just wish that Versus was offered by my cable company without paying for digital. That also means no Tour watching for me this summer.

Anyone have thoughts on the Canon XT vs. XTi? We need a new camera and want to go SLR. We just need to figure out what is best for us.
