SK> Trendy methods cited in college books doesn't necessarily impress me
SK> either. 
First the research is called "worthless" and now the methods I cite are 
called "trendy."  I don't believe in trendy things.  If my experience 
tells me a method is not working (or not workable) then I'll dump it.  I 
am impressed when I read college text books and professional journals 
and books I have relating to literacy learning and they all agree on 
many things regarding early childhood teaching practices.  Why shouldn't 
this be found impressive?  Like you math teaching experience has taught 
you many things about what's important in a good math program, so too 
has my early childhood experience taught me many things.  My readings 
most often validate my experiences (and yes guide me in other areas).
