I don't blame you... but stick around, it's not likely that will be the last time you feel insulted by certain people on this list.

Bravo! Students should be taught the importance of quality and care of their work from early on. This will help prevent student work looking like Student Work. The idea that student work is automatically of some lesser value is of course flawed. Makes me wonder why this attitude often comes from people that are "teachers"... And don't be scared off by Judy's anti-platinum attitude. It's not the last time you'll hear that either. Ultimately, your choice of medium will (or should) be based on the final results rather than the cost.

Good luck in your efforts!
