Pinnacle, Online Grades, Skipping School and More

Ishkibble writes "The Matrin County School Board has a new way of post a student's grades online for a parent to check. Pinnacle is the name of the program, a simple java applet. Not only does Pinnacle log student's grades, but also attendance and conduct. The way grades are accessed are by inputting the first 6 digits of your social security number and the first 5 letters of your last name. With a logon system as simple as this, one has to question the security and privacy of the students. This has been making my life a living hell for the past 2 months, every night my parents go on and check to see if i have any homework and won't let me do anything till it's done"

Fact is, if you don't occasionally help the kids 'clean' their room, you might just miss a dime bag of pot.

Ahem, if you're going to pick on drugs then at least pick a genuinely dangerous one like Heroin. You Americans need to lighten up and realise that cannabis should be *LEGALIZED* because it's *NOT DANGEROUS*!
