High Schooler Gets Detention for Using Firefox


Ok. All I have to say about this is WOW!!! Now, I used to love Firefox myself, but I kept having too many little problems with add-ins and websites that I frequented. But this is a little overboard in the IE corner. You gave a kid Saturday morning ISS for using a competing browser??? And even if the parents disagree and tell the kid not to go, he gets 3 days In-school suspension?? Really!!! OK...I did get 2 days ISS for calling my Econ teacher a maggot, but I was almost always in trouble my senior year. Now, I wonder what class it was. If it was a computer class, then the teacher needs a serious pimp-slapping. And if you teach a class in which you use the internet, you should know about Firefox, Opera and any others. (I guess we'll excuse the pimp-slapping for them.) I did have to give a chuckle that the Assistant Principal was Charles Smith, the same as my high school principal. Makes you wonder.......
