Some students are entering 14 for the year instead of 2014. We need some validation to prevent that.

And we (technically correctly) parse that as 14CE, lovely!

Perhaps just using placeholder text would be enough? I guess it also wouldn't hurt to just completely disallow pre-2000 years. the loss of generality doesn't much matter here.

I say we introduce a Y10K bug by disallowing non-4 digit years.
