Warren, please keep me posted on your progress, I will let you know if/when
I have any. I can't even do circle with one of my freshmen classes I have
so much of this going on. In working with admin who sat in on this "class",
I have even taken them to another class with blech, desks, they need that
much "structure". I am beyond frustrated. This class sounds like yours
times 2 or 3.
Thank you.
Jody
