He was quite abrasive too - but he had some good points too - slowing down, a quiet time during the school day...I've been advocating that for a long time, and it seems all we do is pack more in. But as for handwriting papers....for the birds! Not sure I even know how to pick up a pen anymore!!

- Our blog is made with Drupal and is hosted privately, so no emails are needed. Others might need emails. Do a search here at ning for student blogs/emails and you will find a lot of discussions that address that issue.
