X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Mailer: Atlas Mailer 2.0 Status: O Content-Length: 848 Lines: 9 Andy, I think EFF asks a lot of its teachers, it also makes assumptions about the values teachers have about what to do and how to solve problems, in a variety of ways that involve reading, writing, speech employed to certain ends, the fulfillment of certain roles. Example: would EFF back lying as an appropriate skill? Probably not. Yet lying can be a very useful, sometimes essential tool when in a tight spot. EFF is a publicly funded program (mostly, I guess) so this skill would not be supported. EFF exists then within a certain frame of desired, normative behavior. I think these are interesting issues. Thank you, Donna, George, Meta, and a couple of others for giving me something really interesting to ponder, and for giving me some new background materials. EFF is one reason I looked forward to reading George's book. Andrea
