Dear etaoin: Your bio does contain one bit of information that seems to prove
you bona fides. I had a half dozen teachers in my family, and admire the hardy
souls willing to bear the many negative aspects of teaching ungrateful children
of unappreciative parents. I was once a school physician, and had a parent
complain to me that the teacher was not teaching her brat good manners. I
had another outraged that I sent her child home because of scarlet fever,
and kept her from making a planed trip to Boston shopping. One of the things
I most regret is my having been so stupid I did not make the effort required
to thank the many teachers who helped me so much. I hope you may be
fortunate in that regard. You may have some interesting things to say in
the forum below "AWAD in schools". It has been very little used, because
we have only a couple teachers on the board. Belatedly, I welcome you.
