hi folks,

i understand antipathy for the "m" word as well, jeanne.  Aside from that 
i was just wondering online about the wierd things dysfunctional literacy 
does to people.

have just coined a term?   dysliteracy vs. euliteracy?   

oh to hell with it.

antipathy for worn-out and/or cheaply coined buzzwords aside, 
I liked the story about 
the workplace teaching person who saw worker/students putting themselves 
down.  tragic, but much like what i see here amongst students who most 
often are first generations in their families to go past high school.  
and here they come to the very place that perpetuates the head-trip.  

maybe i'm being just a WEE BIT CYNICAL at the moment, but sometimes i 
feel like such a rat-bastard for being associated with educators that do 
that to people's heads.  I've gotta show i'm different....

hm...i need to watch a mel brookes movie REALLY BAD!
