greg we will only get things done when the kids find out there is no free lunch. the most impressive part that will help us all is when teachers can get the assistance of better pay to bring back so many good educators who were forced to go to the business jobs in order to support their families. a few years back the winner of award for best teacher was a man from ca. who within 2 years of award had to change carreers in order to support his growing family. schools really slid backwards when reagan went to a poor d c school and was asked to fund a library and his response was---oh well i never used a library and still got to be president. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Sterling" <[log in to unmask]> To: "Constance Tate" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 5:57 AM Subject: Re: Re: Research funding > Connie, > Well said.
