Re: adjusting marks; W. Edwards Deming

[dennis roberts]

this shows how naive deming really was ...
who says learning "should" be a joy? learning is WORK ... and, work is

others do not ... should we blame THEM?

but, i don't really see what deming has to do with our discussion of 
"adjusting" marks ...
