And I couldn't agree more. BUT, I am instructing in a vo-tech system
that is run, largely, by academic types and there are things that we
are told to do and ways in which to do them. This sort of assignment
is one of those things.

You have a clear eye on "who's paying the bills" and
if that person says to do something, they don't really
want to hear how it's so much better to do something
else. Acceptable answers a

a) it's done, or

b) I'll have it done by X.
