The tech guys are often under appreciated in education, and the first to be criticised when things go wrong. Teachers can be a demanding lot! Yet if data is breached, they'd be the first to complain. People like blaming systems, authorities - they aren't too forgiving when mistakes are made. REcently we had flash floods here that swept a lot of caravans and cars into the sea when rain came down the river inland. No lives lost, thankgood. The BOM (bureau of meterology) did put out a flash flood warning, but as it was some distance away, no one thought it could happen. Now 'flash flood' is a warning nearly every time it rains - because they were criticised so hard for not warning harder. There's always someone to blame, right?
Yeah, that's another part of the problem. Everyone wants to blame somebody for everything even though sometimes crappy things just happen. My goal is to keep us out of the local news. As long as I am doing that, I don't really care too much how few friends I make.
