Lawrence, You are doing good stuff! Are you anywhere near San Franciscco? If so I could tool on over and bother you kids. With my former wascals I started with the difference between a bus stop and an f stop. Then we went to "geo metric proportions. i.e. "Little Molly" (my dog) weighs 10 pounds and Suzi (not smart) weighs 100 lbs. etc. My favorite is to i.d. the air head (child who doesn't think very much, mouth breather with slack jaw.) I give that one a 1000 m.L bottle and a 20 m.L. cup and then tell me how many 20 m.L. cups will make a 1000 m.L. The kids get the message. Laughter abounds. I will get "counseled" because there was too much laughter in the class. >MUST PUSH MATH!!!< says the supreme being. Now I sit on but and talk to dog. ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210
