Re: Re: [Ldsoss] Scout Tracking
Thanks to the student progress system
our school district is using I know if there is a problem with one of my
kids before the report cards come out. Also, teachers are not spending
a good deal of their time talking to the parents but rather they are
spending more of their time, well hopefully, teaching.
This is actually what concerns me about my daughter's school. She's a
first grader and they want to post her and her classmates' (w/ naive
parents permission, of course) pictures and names along with progress
info on a website, no login or anything to protect that info. It
scares me that any weirdo out there can then view my daughter's
picture, know her name, and what school she goes to. I think we are
often not careful enough about what we allow others to display on the
web.
If it were behind a password-protected site, then maybe it would be
another thing. Sorry - just ranting about a recent frustration with
the schools here in Utah.

As someone who has a hyphen in his last name not from marriage, but from birth it also in infuriating when I come across a computer system that will only accept alpha characters in the last name field.

The core features that *must* be implemented (Level 1): o Troop roster. - First name, last name, middle initial (optional). - Flag for leader or scout. As one who uses their middle name, I am always infuriated when, in this day of TeraByte storage, I encounter computer systems that insist on calling me A, because I use A. Rick Anderson. If you insist on such an archaic limitation, please do NOT add a restriction against the use of a period or space character as legal values in a name. I can't tell you how many computer systems where my first name is A. Rick Anderson :-( But, if you'd send me your initial cut, I would also appreciate having a starting point. -- A.

re: RE: [Ldsoss] Scout Tracking
I would agree with both your concerns Steven, accept that, after reading the entire email trail from yesterday, this appears to be a project initiated by Church HQ and not some random person on the listserve. The church has said no unofficial websites - this to me would be an official website. GR Steven H. McCown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can appreciate all the fervor for a web-based app. However, 1) The church has said no websites. You can't get away with making the this is scouting and that is the church distinction, anymore. 2) It is a legal problem to start posting information about minor children to the Internet. That would have to be decided at Church HQ and not by the local units. They don't even allow information to be posted into Family Search about living people, they just insert a LIVING placeholder. Being involved with security professionally, I would not give my consent. This is a huge pitfall -- despite good intentions -- it would be wise not to fall into it.
