*I was tempted to consider that his asking us was fullfillment of the
requirement.. but did not want Rangernet to be a "work-around" for
a boy attempting his "Best"
I'm sure the requirement was writen without Rangernet access in mind!<G>
It's a per-tic-u-lar sticky point of mine to have a boy before me and
hold a pen over his handbook, and find he doesnot know anything!
I "read" outloud the requirement... mayby then ask the boy what he thinks
the "Meaning is" of the verbage... and consistantly the boys ask me to
explain..
Right there is when I find I'm tempted to describe the answer<G> and fall
prey to a "guessing game" with the Ranger trying to "read my mind"
THAT IS NOT HOW IT WAS MENT TO WORK!
------------------------------------
NO GUESSING GAMES!
"*No More- No Less that what was asked.."
The idea is that a Ranger CARES TO KNOW!....this build a GMA who
"shines" on his own terms.. instead of a boy who learns how to
pry answers out of a "easy commander"
*We are NOT to be "tough acts" but we ARE TO BE FAIR!
*That's my opinion only..as a Dad and a LongTime Ranger who is proud of
takeing the "high road"... 'course that was a LONG TIME ago and things
may change<G> Heheeee!
*If the merit requires a per-tic-u-lar knot.. Tie it!
*Don't say.. "Oh I tied that one back as a Pioneer,remember???"
