[Year 12 IPM] Audacity

[Brett Davies]

I didn't see any personal attacks, the tech does however need to pull
his/her head in and stop giving lame excuses for not installing
something on the network. I would like to know exactly WHAT  security
issues he/she has with Audacity. 

If he/she cannot explain that then there is clearly another agenda. I
doubt he/she will be able to explain his/her reasons in relation to this
program.If the teacher wants Audacity and the tech can give only a
standard "security issue" reason without explanation then in my book the
teacher should get Audacity, and, if he/she doesn't like it there are
plenty of places around who will just blindly accept his/her
technobabble and be amazed by his/her apparent depth of knowledge and
insight into Technology!!!

It's not a personal attack per se it's about who runs the school.
the technician or the teachers?

That's a good thing because maybe the individual at hand can then 
understand that he is not god and is answerable to the school and it's

curriculum needs and not his personal agendas.
