Hi Jim!

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you.  With the start of a
new school year and moving into a new house, there hasn't been many spare moments.
 I still don't have my modem hooked up at school yet, but Joel is promising
to get it done this week.

It has been an interesting year so far.  I have thirty students in my room this
year -- 12 girls and 18 boys.  I'm going to go ahead and send you the list.
  That way, you can go ahead and match your students up with mine.  I'm excited
about getting this project underway.

GIRLS:  Andrea Bass,  Cristy Bradley,   Kara Bradley,   Ashley Butts,     Michelle
Gaskin,   Zoe Jarman,   Abby Krogmeier,   Macy Norman,   Nicky Palka,   Erin
Thomas,   Amanda Ward,   Kisha Watson

BOYS:   Chris Adams,   Jason Aderholt,   Tarik Gant,   Corey Harrison,     
  Ryan Huff,   Jonathan Lambert,   Jonathan Lund,   John Mount,   Robert Parker,
  Tonio Polis,   Ross Powell,   Nathan Richards,   Grant Sanborn,   J.T. Searcy,
  Chad Sullivan,   Ryan Svolto,   Keith Vincent,   Austin Wolner


Austin will be in my class only until the first of November.  He will be moving
to Germany then.

We just had our class picture taken so I will be sending a copy to your class.
 My children are writing poems and stories.  When they are ready we will send
them to your children.

I hope your year is going well.  And I hope to hear from you soon.

:)   Susan    :)

Greetings from Charlottesville, Virginia.  I am a third year
student at the University of Virginia and am studying to become
an English teacher, hopefully at the secondary level. I was
wondering if there was anyone out there, new or old to the
field, who could tell me what it is like in the classroom, etc.
I'd be interested to know what is going on in the real world.
Sometimes things get pretty isolated here. Hope to hear from
someone soon!

Hi Mr. B,
  I see you're also trying to get something going with Japan.  I'm waiting
for the apparent boss of this network, Jack Crawford, to answer my inquiry
about the same subject.  I suggest you direct a message to Jack, or maybe
you could write the other big wheel here, Helen Sternheim. She has been
helpful inthe past. Good luck, and let's keep working on this.  I think it
would be an excellent contact point for all our kids.

Leigh Ann....I am married to an adult ADD/H (Attn Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity). My husband was on Ritalin for five years when he was a child. He still shows a lot of the signs of ADD/H now. He didn't finish college because he had no confidence in his own ability to study.

I have an address for the CH.A.D.D. organization in Florida, but unfortunately it's at school and I'm at home. I'll try to remember to bring it home tomorrow.

Good luck with your paper...CHADD will be able to send you plenty of information, and check your library as well!

THE PBS ELEMENTARY/SECONDARY SERVICE OFFERS AN EXTENSIVE LISTING OF
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS!

January, 1990 marked the beginning of the "Year of the Environment" and
OPERATION EARTH, a national outreach campaign, on public television. PBS,
the Public Television Outreach Alliance, public television stations and
environmental partners nationwide worked together to encourage viewers to
protect the environment and our future on Planet Earth. To help launch
OPERATION EARTH, the PBS Elementary/Secondary Service created an
extensive compendium for educators - offering hundreds of resources for
classroom and community use.

The Environmental Resource Compendium was designed to assist
educators, librarians, community groups, PBS stations, and
families, in their efforts to educate and to heighten
awareness and concern by all citizens of the need for local
action.  This 65-page booklet contains listings of the following
resources for broadcasters, educators, and community groups:
* Broadcast Programming
* Nonbroadcast Programs for Classroom Use
* Computer Resources
* Slide shows and Filmstrips
* Technical Reports
* Books for Grades K-12
* Resource Facilities
* Special Projects and Teacher Resources
* Resource Publications
* Telecourses/Professional Development Programs
* Posters
* PSAs
* Outreach Ideas
* Environmental Groups

Sara...I teach in a surburban high school of about 1400 students 
(9-12)..if my suspicions are correct there is probably no one "real" 
environment in secondary English classes...even mine change.  Kids 
are however more auditory and visual in their needs than in previous 
decades...they also need to see/feel connection between what is 
happening in the classroom and what is happening outside 
it...moreover will what they are doing inside the class really 
prepare them for the future they are likely to face...This is not 
really AN answer...rather a reflection...hope it give some small 
inkling.    Roberta Hawkins

No I don't.  I will ask in a few technical echos that I have here and see if there is any such software.  There, is of course, lots and lots of offline readers for IBMs (and clones).  But I have not seen any for non-IBM machines.
 
Your idea is excellent.  There are quite a few folks who see off line readers as a method of having lots of students involved.  A suggestion that I heard was, to have each child have a disk and bring it into school and then manually copy their message packets from the bbs directly onto the disk (no modem involved).  The children would take their disks home and read them via their home computer.

We would _love_ to have every country in the world represented in
K12net, believe me!

However, K12net is all volunteers and there is no centralized
fundng to allow us to "decide" to pick up Japan, for example. Some
sysop in Japan will need to develop sufficient interest in K12net to
seek out a distribution channel. Our new friends in Taiwan are an
example of this happening.

If you have some good friends in Japan who happen to be FIDOnet
sysops, please tell them all about K12net. If they seem interested,
ask them to contact Janet Murray at 1:105/23 for suggestions as to
possible low-cost feed sources.

Incidentially, the fact that K12net is entirely volunteer and that
all funding is at the level of our individual sysops is a hidden
strength. It is not subject to the fickleness, control or
inefficiencies of any centralized bureacracy or megalomainiacal
individual. It is "grassroots" in the truest sense of the word....
