Hi All,

In case anyone is interested, it looks like the teacher works at 
Covington Middle school, which is part of the Austin Independent School 
District, in Austin, Texas.

If it is the teacher I think it is, she looks to be a Grade 7/8 Language 
Arts teacher.  Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Language Arts & 
English classes about be open to new forms of communication & 
understanding things?  Hmmm...maybe she skipped class that day while she 
"tried Linux during college"

Here area couple links:
* Auston Independent School District (AISD): http://www.austinisd.org
* Convington Middle School:

You can find a staff directory & contact information for the school, the 
principal & the teacher under the staff section.  I am contemplating 
contact the district, the school & the principal at the very least to 
express my concern.  Maybe I should contact the various government 
levels in charge of education as well.  Should be a fun way to cause 
some trouble.
