The Naughty Step

There seems to be a lot of grumbling around the office about the number of timeouts we're getting while putting in the Form 471. And I hear rumblings in the wider community. It's too bad; I had noticed timeouts disappearing. Has someone at USAC been inspired by the epic timeout battles on Supernanny? At least with Supernanny, when the kid gets "the Naughty Step" (so much quainter than "timeout"), s/he gets an explanation, and gets a hug at the end of the timeout. There are just not enough hugs in the E-Rate program.
