Keith says; I agree with Mr. Hohmann's analysis quite often, including his last posting. I must however dispute, and voice objection, to his statement, above. It is reckless, and, at least, mean spirited to make such an assumption. I thank, and respect all the Mpls. public school teachers for all efforts they make toward educating their students. It is an unrelenting challenge and responsibility. All to often it includes wiping away mud thrown from the peanut gallery of arm chair critics. Those who have toughed it out, and are still teaching 5,10, and 20 years later, should earn more then a sweeping, and presumptuous, insult. I salute the stalwarts; while I mourn the the discarding of the newer teachers. Keith Reitman NearNorth TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
