	Again, has anyone made any observations? I have not, except that teachers tend to "flock" together and nannies also in playgrounds.
I have asked that our Explainers be queried about what they observe. We too have WiFi and I don't think we advertise it (not certain why not if we don't). But as you know smart phones "find" the network so it is not a secret for long.

I'll report what our Explainers observe.

Wayne if you would use it for emergency announcements how would that work if you don't advertise the WiFi availability?
