The school did it again:- sent letters home with a duff web address. I wrote to them a couple of weeks ago, but got no reply. About 1300 kids got the letter. Here is my response :-<\/p>\n

Hello. You have just sent a letter home encouraging parents to start using new methods of communication. You also suggest we can register via your website\u00a0www.holmfirthhigh<\/span>.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Although this domain is owned by the school (registered in 2004) you have not yet done anything with it. The same applies to\u00a0holmfirthhighschool.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0holmfirthhigh<\/span>.com<\/a>\u00a0(which I first registered and gave to the school to prevent abuse – look it up, according to whois I am still the registered owner).\u00a0<\/p>\n For a school specialising in computing, you show a remarkable lack of knowledge around the use of the internet and computing in general. Not a very good example to our children then. This is not the first time you have sent letters with a non-working domain, but can I suggest you get with the program and try a bit harder.<\/p>\n You should be using those domains yourself – allowing kids to create their own content etc. At least post a redirect to digital brain, since you insist on using them. Either that or stop publishing duff web addresses.<\/p>\n Regards,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The school did it again:- sent letters home with a duff web address.
