Architect Update October 10

According to the school district website, there will be an Architect Update on Oct. 10 at 7:00 p.m. in the high school library. Wouldn't it have been nice to get a response from a board member acknowledging receipt of our questions and a note saying that they will pass on our questions to the architect at Monday's meeting?  Am I really asking too much?

This is the text from Apple's first commercial.  It is also on Josephine Posti's latest blog post over at Center Court.

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Apple Inc.

“About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.”  School Board, please think about that statement.

Correction: Apple's first Mac commercial aired in 1984.  "Think Different" was part of an advertising campaign created for Apple in 1997.

Well apparently Elaine, contrary to Mrs. Posti's superficial enthusiasm for the Apple philosophy, she and and the board do believe you CAN ignore "the ones who see things differently."
Proof... how many responses have you received to the questions?

Did she provide attribution to Apple for using the Apple statement word-for-word ?
