That's part of the problem. A long time ago I saw an elementary school that used Logo (Turtle graphics) and thought that "all the kid need[s] to know is pressons [a] few buttons" I don't think these kids ever learned what kaf-sofit has to do with a left turn. Teaching to press those few buttons by rote is bad because it disassociates the action from the meaning. -- Thanks, Uri http://translation.israel.net ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
