Louis, it seems to me that you are befuddled because you don't listen. Your colleagues here on this list serve are telling you that we do get it. We do care about students. We do care about teaching and we are trying to improve. It doesn't help when you pull out one of your "let me show you how awful teachers are" letters or stories. I'm sure we could all bring up countless examples of bad teaching but hat's not what this list serve is about. We're trying to improve teaching of psychology by sharing ideas, experiences and resources. When you deride the profession and include everyone but your self, you set up the caustic environment that you say you want to avoid. Through this list and our personal interactions I also see that you are not open to anyone else's opinion but your own. When ever someone simply has a different view than you then they are some how flawed.
I would like to suggest that if you truly want to improve teaching give us more lollipop moments or other helpful techniques that have worked for you and fewer not-so-random thoughts about how awful all those teachers are out there.
I'd like to think that's just my opinion but the recent spate of emails tells me different.
