• @ddraper YouTube's own Terms of Service state that they won't accept "obscene" content. I know what you're arguing. in reply to ddraper #
• .@ddraper: But there's a big difference between blocking content and taking students to it in the classroom. One is not the other. #
• .@ddraper I continue to say this, and you continue not to hear it – bad teachers are not the IT department's issue. Admin issue. #
• .@ddraper: Trying to control the quality of the teacher in the classroom is overstepping the limits of IT, no matter how well intentioned. #
• .@ddraper If a teacher makes a bad choice in the classroom, and there's a policy against that, is that the fault of the IT department? #
• .@ddraper I'm not willing to let that be the way that the work that I do goes. I will not be writing rules for the 5%. #
• .@ddraper We've got to assume the best and work to ensure it. Not the other way around. #

  Coffee's made.
  Thinking how we'll spent the day.
  Likely we will go outside
  And seek out snowmen.
  Not stay dry. #
• @snbeach I like @davecormier's answer. But sharing personal information doesn't seem enough. Trust takes time. #
• I also wonder if trust is transitive. I trust you because she trusts you, and I trust her. #
• @brueckj23 @crafty184 Huh. Sounds like you've a bit of a wonderful mess there. in reply to brueckj23 #
