paulaj It is indeed a dumb thing, but only because There isn't anything explicit. Our training has been incredible. We are excellent teachers becasue of the planning.

mom May daughter, normally an excellent student, came home crying in 8th grade because she had made all=region choir but was not allowed to participate because she had failed math. She tried to blame it on a lousy teacher. Her teacher, a math genious, really did not know how to teach non=genious teachers. But I did not let her get away with that. It is...See More
