"When they weren't robbing the Franklin National Bank, they were harrassing my good tenants in the aforementioned properties. I finally gave up and sold all of those properties and moved farther out in South Minneapolis. I do not know when you lived there in the middle of Whittier, but maybe things had changed by the mid 90's."
Yeh, trying to apply 14-year-old experience is a bit risky. ------------------------------- Doug Mann: You know I cast one of my votes for you and helped you over the top. But I'd like to know before I have to make a narrower selection what you'd do in PLACE of ability grouping. Yes, I know that labeling kids tends to influence their performance. We don't want a "dumb class". But with all the stresses of the teaching job, what precisely can a teacher do to insure that each student gets the level of help they need. I've been in college classes where they ask beforehand what background and expectations people have. Then, allegedly, they try to use that to set up how the material is taught. And it never seems, in my opinion, to work too well. For instance, I took Foxpro for Windows, and they pitched the class to the experienced programmers. I concluded at the end I shouldnt have joined that particular group. But they didnt screen BEFOREHAND by levels of competence. How do you solve problems like that, Doug? ===== Jim Mork (Cooper Neighborhood) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Wellstone!
