I find your statement about how many of "your readers" put kids in jail, interesting. For me, it speaks to a relational responsibility by all of us to the issue of crime. Are those who are sent to prison, (assuming "guilt") the *only* ones responsible for the crimes to which they commit? Could you say more about how "many" of us "put those kids in jail"? jackie >===== Original Message From nifl-povracelit@nifl.gov ===== >t[tjatjotr[ wrote: > >>> tjjhjr@netscape.net 06/29/03 12:38PM >>> >so what???...CAL...ESL Magazine, NEA's TEACHER rag, MSDE in MD and PDE in PA.....all foster this......they and many of your readers put those kids in jail..... > >toijrtirjqjoi[t: > >Do you have a name or are you a so great that your name cannot be pronounced.
