Hello,

I am interested in hearing some feedback about images that are  
showing up in reports at my school. Due to the convenience of Google  
Images, students are using that source for images that appear in  
Powerpoint presentations and to illustrate their written reports. The  
images they are finding are technically fine but they end up coming  
from truly bizarre sources - images of the Gay Pride flag from an  
Icelandic travel site, a picture of "Gay Street and Church Street"  
street signs from a random blog, a picture of the American flag from  
a German site (written in German), a picture of an American dollar  
bill from a British website. Even though the images are not wrong  
they seem like the result of lazy searching - is anyone else  
struggling with this?
