Talk about your treasure chests . . .
I’m not saying I agree with the schools decision, I am just saying I find it completley stupid that everyone puts up blogs and pictures of themselves for who knows in the world to stumble upon....
If you want so much attention, follow the old sages advice.
Write something worth reading, or do something worth writing.
Well, had only her and her friends seen it, she wouldn’t have the issue..... alas, she posted it on the internet where any schmuck can see it....
I don’t agree with the school, but you wish to mold young minds, posting pics of yourself doing adult behaviors probably not the greatest career move.
I would not have ANY problem at all with any of my kid’s teachers dressing up as a drunken pirate for a school halloween function, or posting a picture dressed that way on the internet or on their own bulletin board.
So I obviously don’t think that the picture being on MySpace in public should be of any concern to getting her degree.
BTW, Drunken Pirate maybe be redundant. Is there really any other kind?
FWIW, I don’t post pics or personal info for all to see, either. It is Unwise. Those who do such things open themselves to problems.

When and where was this picture taken?
It was taken on Einstein’s 72nd birthday in Princeton on March 14, 1951 by a press photographer (Arthur Sasse). The original picture shows Einstein sitting on the backseat of a car between Dr Frank Aydelotte, the former head of the Institute for Advanced Study, and his wife.
Why did Einstein stick out his tongue to the photographer?
Albert Einstein and the Aydelottes were just returning from an event which had taken place in honour of Einstein. Einstein was, though already sitting in the car, still bullied by reporters and photographers. They didn’t let him be and he is said to have shouted: “That’s enough, that’s enough!” However, these words didn’t hinder the photographers from taking some more pictures of Einstein and his companions. And when he still was asked to pose for a birthday picture he really grew tired of the journalists and the photographers and as encouraging words didn’t help any more, he stuck out his tongue to his “prosecutors”. The photographer Arthur Sasse pressed the button of his camera in just this moment.
Einstein liked the picture very much. He cut it into shape so only he can still be seen. Then he had made several copies of it and sent the thus “manipulated” picture as a greeting card to friends later on.
In this form we know it today and though it isn’t shown here the reader clearly remembers the picture with Einstein’s tongue.
If her ed program is anything like mine was, it has a morality clause vague enough to snare just about anyone.
