TIA Janice, I work at Sweet Home High school. The best response I ever came up with was that I chose Sweet Home because the first letters of the name of the school spelled the librarians' favorite word - "SH!" Run with the joke - don't be sarcastic. Trust me, this takes all the wind out of their sails. They won't know what to say next! So enjoy it! The stereotypes are always there. Nothing you can do about them. > "In theory, there isn't any difference between theory and practice.
