Bryan, you're skeptical and I'm the perennial optimist!	6/10/04 7:14 AM

Remember what your mother said? If at first you don't succeed...

Sometimes I think we presume that information is accessible to everyone, but it isn't. I live in a small town in western Wisconsin, on the other side of the state from Madison. When I go to conferences, issues are often referred to that Milwaukee and Madison area educators are clearly familiar with, and I have never heard of. So, my point is that it is important to keep sharing information and expanding the avenues of communication.

There's hope for your 5 and 7 year olds yet!
