wonder how much trouble the kid would be in if we emailed the guy who gave him the detention to discuss firefox. His addy is on the schools website…....

that Sux. at my school, every computer has a drive called the Student Share Drive that you can access from any computer in the school. I put Firefox on there and everyone uses it. I didn’t get in trouble (for that), I did get Suspended for three days for using a proxy to go to myspace and facebook at school.

firefox is awesome i wish i switched to it earlier

Kinda reminds me of that kid in the states who got suspended for using that new party-drug PHP.

Recently, a file was uploaded to the Internet purporting to be a copy of a letter from Big Spring High School to a student regarding a two hour detention. The uploaded letter was an altered version of a detention letter sent to a student. Unfortunately, privacy concerns prevent the School District from giving a full explanation of the nature and source of the letter’s alteration at this time. The Big Spring School District does have confirmation that the discipline letter was altered.

The reports, blogs and other sources on the Internet indicating that a Big Spring student was assigned detention for using the Firefox internet browser instead of Internet Explorer are untrue and were based on the fake letter. Detention is assigned in our schools after appropriate warnings are given, if students continue to engage in non-academic activities or fail to follow a teacher’s directive during class time discipline can and will be assigned.

Sincerely yours,

John C. Scudder

High School Principal

Obviously what “altered” actually means could well be the black-out and ‘outline’, in the same way as Clintons “I didn’t have sex with that woman” means “Well I did, but I didn’t inhale”.

i think we should all just e-mail charles smith at the following addy (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
