I once got a panicked phone call from a rather drunk office assistant
who worked at one of my clients. Her boyfriend canceled a date at the
last minute so she went out with the girls and got smashed. She took an
_extremely_ personal selfie to show the BF what he was missing and
fubar'ed badly the addressbook and sent the pic to her boss at work. So
at 2 am I was a gentleman and silently deleted the email from the boss'
queue and never looked. Poor woman turned 9 shades of crimson the next
morning, with some serious green tinges, as I walked into her work on a
scheduled appointment. I told her I never looked and only removed it.
That could have ruined her career.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
