Comments on: SQL Server! IT is Behind the Times http://loonsbury.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/sql-server-it-is-behind-the-times/ Is this what programming looks like?

It is something like the code word right of passage for geeks to identify each other with. OK, it was Loonsbury that told me that tidbit during a discussion about MySQL, but it's still valid! Teachers are like a box of chocolates. Sometimes the sweetest looking among them can be the bitter surprise amongst the herd. Any position where you are the decision maker that can ultimately ruin or improve someone's chances at reaching their given educational goals has potential for abuse. Some teachers are brilliant and really enjoy what they do, while others become jaded to their own purpose. Good luck on your scoring.
