Re: 7th Grade School Project is Outrageous

[John Jacobus <crispy_bird@YAHOO.COM>]

If what you say is true, I think the principal or

administration should be contacted.  This is not

education, but indoctrination and the use of bribery.

If the teacher has selection the position to be taken

where is the educational aspects.  Letter writing

skills?  Maybe some knowledgeable HP in the area could

be enlisted to talk to the teacher, students, etc.



Please pass along my thoughts, for what they are

worth.
