Ok, I’m a nitpicker, and I admit that. Seriously, though, is it too much to expect the news to get peoples’ names right? Especially when they are the focus of a story? Especially when it’s in the title? Especially when they LINK to the person’s website? Geeze, guys. I am sad for the state of the news media. Where’s the professionalism?

Oh yeah – and any thoughts on the story are welcome too. It’s an interesting case.

  • Well, seems like tons of media coverage (online at least) and some lawyer swapouts have gotten the problem back into the light. At least for a while there. We can only watch and wait. Grrr.

    Update - the guy fixed the title, but you can still see his spelling error in the URL of the page. I think I screencapped it when it happened, so if I find myself bored, maybe I'll put up the screencaps to prove it. Ha ha. Guess someone else thought he should get names right.

    Wow, that's really terrifying that they convicted her for something as simple as technological illiteracy. *worries*

    If you even think of the ramifications... *shudders* I mean, she might never be able to get a good job again because of the stupidity of those people.
  • Awesomeness. I was a visual arts major in high school. It's part of my colorful past. (Oh, that pun was intended...but later regretted.) Ha ha. :-D
  • art teacher. certified. unexperienced.
  • Seriously. I couldn't agree more. I am a bit freaked out by the problems that technological illiteracy can cause. The defense fund is accessible via her blogspot site (which her husband is currently maintaining). I didn't know you were a student teacher, though. Are you going to teach as a career? That's kind of cool. Learn new things everyday. Ha ha.
  • boing boing talked about a defense fund for her. I hope she gets off. Lord knows when I was a student teacher, I had my fair share of problems when I took the kids to the computer lab.
