SK>Do you remember the name of the teacher from New Mexico? He was like a
SK>jack-of-all trades, according to the list he spouted about the various
SK>jobs he'd held before/in addition to teaching. I think he was in charge
SK>of the computer lab at his site. He was (???) a middle school teacher.
Hmmm.. No... I can't place him, I'm afraid..
-> I don't know why things are so slow here, but I
-> get enough crap thrown my way as it is, I surely
-> don't need more!  ;-)
->
-> Plus.. I have Herman and ALizard to deal with on
-> the Internet, and that's enough aggravation for
-> ANYONE in a given day!
SK>I don't know ALizard, but I do know Herman.
I forgot Sockeye - Eric Fowler...
SK>You will see that he has always been saying/writing
SK>the same things. I don't think you will ever change that. But, after you
SK>finally tire of corresponding with him, someone else will join the
SK>newsgroups where Herman posts, someone as of that time still
SK>unacquainted with Herman, and the discussions will go on, with this
SK>newbie now taking your place. 
I suppose... Annoying twit...
-> SK>I am considering to revise the Guidelines for this echo to take
-> out some SK>of the phrases that specifically limit criticizing
-> teachers, etc... to SK>make room for more discussion in this area.
->
-> SK>Reactions?
->
-> Please don't...
SK>It's interesting to me that you write this. You don't think that the
SK>rest of the guidelines provide enough rules for me to maintain an
SK>atmosphere of civilized discussion pertaining primarily to education?
SK>If old time posters have moved on to other pastures (such as the
SK>Internet) maybe it's time to let new participants have a turn here?
-> SK>I am dappling with the idea of eventually gating this FidoNet
-> conference SK>to an Internet mailing list. Maybe within the next
-> couple of weeks I SK>will be able to start experimenting with that.
->
-> I think that might produce more activity, but you
-> can't enforce the existing rules in the Internet
-> newsgroups, can you?
SK>Ah, here is where you are wrong.
That puts things in a different light..  So long as
this doesn't devolve into a flame fest at teachers'
expense, it'd be fine...
SK>I am currently moderating k12.ed.math. It first became moderated on Aug.
SK>1, 1997. Check it out. You will see NO SPAM and very few annoying posts.
SK>Almost EVERYTHING is constructive and on-topic. (BTW, K12Net is looking
SK>for a volunteer to moderate k12.ed.science. You wouldn't be interested,
SK>by any chance, Ron?)
I'm up to my ears, I'm afraid... Trying to integrate
a new set of computers into my science curriculum,
all this academy stuff, and on and on...
