----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Silverberg" <barisil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Coming Soon . . .Why the HOTS program was shoved into the English curriculum Hi fans. Over and over we hear the plaintive cry, why are the notorious thinking skills being taught in the pupil's foreign language rather than his hot mother tongue. Why indeed? It's not because purists were afraid of the expression "Hot Mother Tongue (HTM)." For the true reason, you're going to have to wait til I get all these mid term tests marked and peel this pile of vegetables for Shabbat. It may even have to wait until Hannuka in Be'er Sheva. So hold your shirts and keep your horse on, I'll get there yet.
