I agree; this is not our responsibility. Nor is it a very good idea to try,
in many cases.  I know plenty of principals who think we have no business
trying to tell them "their business."  I have gotten in trouble for simply pointing
out that showing a video for reward is against copyright:  "You should know
there are different rules for schools because we don't charge for the kids to
see them."

I wonder why there is not some higher-up-the-library-associations-ladder that
is pounding at the doors of principal-training degree programs.  I don't
think they learn anything about us, what we do, or what a library is even USED
for.
