Yeah... five was great. The first day of kindergarten I ended up on the front page of the biggest paper. The photog told me to pout, so I did. Boom! My face on the front page looking like a whiney shrecker with the headline "Back to class!"

Bastards....

I still remember my first day of school.

I was born in Long Beach, CA (LA)

My school was about two miles from my house and I had to walk to school. My parents "walked me" through the route.

My first day, I left my house crying then tried to hide in some bushes in our front yard. My mom was home, dad at work. Mom could not even drive a car. I walked to school.

Anyway, I lived.

Weird times for sure.

The 1st day there was some... holy.... I still remember his name. Joe Dixon. Nice enough guy, but he was carrying a bag that I guess we mistook for a purse. He was also a Jehovas Witness.

That's really all you need.

By noon we were calling him "pursy" and at 3 'oclock we beat the watermelon out of him.

I look back on school, and the narrow windows that I do remember, I just shudder.

Nothing unusual about using a photographic projection.  Most professional artists use it as a tool in their bag of tricks, so to speak, when rendering realism.  It is somewhat of a shortcut, but not as easy as you think to do right.  Projections are unsuccessful without a knowledge of perspective and anatomy (for portraits, etc.)  The first use of projection was the camera obscura, and used by Albrecht Durer when he set one up in his studio window to project cityscapes/landscapes in the 16th Century.

Composition is the most telling of an artist's abilities.  That's what makes or breaks a drawing/painting.  But as far as projections go, they are completely legit.  The Old Masters used 'em.

So I would tend to agree that they (projections) shouldn't be used by students starting out.  On the other hand, it is unusual to find a professional artist this day and age who doesn't employ this method, especially when rendering "photo-realistic" art work.  The trade-off is a danger of the work lacking soul or spontaneity if the rendering is anything other than technical.  Regardless of the technique used, it is the soul of the piece that makes it art.
