That's true.  I didn't realise she'd posted it herself the first time.  I
thought it had come out of someone's address book.

Pat, we are running into the same thing in Victoria. My principal really
wants to try it; we even have a committee to study how our school could do
it. NTS I am on that committee. Of course, many of our teachers are afraid
to try it.

   And what do the students say?  The reason I ask this is because my
   students have trouble w/ this is Japanese.  I do explain to them that
   the onus is on them to greet me first, but since most classrooms enter
   from the back, I usually have to greet them first.  Some days I get no
   answer back from them.  It takes 3/4 of the year to get them to where
   it's a habit.  The American part of me says "oh well" and the Japanese
   part is shocked at their rudeness.

I've found that Japanese students are eager to learn how English speakers
express politeness.  Many Asians mistakenly assume that since our verbs
don't conjugate according to politeness, we don't have polite forms.  Of
course, it's just that the forms are linguistically subtle (can I? vs.
could I? vs. might I? vs I was wondering if I might, etc.).  If as part of
the lesson you bluntly tell the students that it is polite for the student
to make the initial greeting (rather than not disturbing the august
Teacher?), they likely will greet you earlier and more often in the year.

Grrrrrrrr..... I am *not* a small-town girl.  I grew up in Detroit.
My mother grew up in Berkeley, CA--hardly a small-town girl, either.

How close you are. I don't teach college frosh, but high school seniors

*** Resending note of 08/22/92 16:56



Hi

Doing lot of odds and ends - Joyce cleaning/rearranging sewing room.
Comes accross 25 year old picture of her and oldest son ...what a
beautiful young woman she was.  Georgous red hair, beautiful face and
great smile (BTW she *still* has a great smile!).  Anyway, Joyce comments
what pretty full lips I used to have, and now there so thin.. Dawn, maybe
with just a little hint of meaness, maybe not, comments, well when you
get old everthing starts to shrivel and shrink up (?).  Guess the comment
hit me a little wrong, so I gently tell Dawn that she too will soon be
a beautful young woman (but not as pretty as Joyce was), but in time
she will also lose that physical beauty.  But, if she would strive to
develop a beautiful personality, she can have that for a lifetime.

                            Peace,
                                  Don

	Well, it's like this for me:  NE Tel took down our T1
yesterday to fix something.  This morning they discovered that they
had some extra parts after they had put the thing back together.
So, since we were experiencing 50% packet loss, we told them to atke
it back down and really fix it this time.

They're also useful if you have programs with many command line
arguments and you want to run it again changing just one...

Pasacal?  Was he a painter?

Actually, Ruth you have not been paying attention ...but what the heck,
probably hard for you to pay anything.  This is a *8088*!!!!  The closest
thing to a window is about 3 feet away, from which I hope to drop this
piece of junk some day (4 story drop - that ought to get its attention).

Don, who has been on one PC another most of the night, too busy to even
check in on WORDS-L (and that's busy!!!!), who is 9 tenths asleep at
work ...well that's not too bad, half-asleep most of time anyway, and
who *only* programs in COBOL anymore, and who is soon going to get
micro-cobol software to run on non-existant 486/50, and who is going to
try to get yet *another* ancient keyboard, since if I can break the 2 or
3 left in existance, should force somebody to get me a newer PC ...unless
they can scrape up an old PC JR.  ... Did I forget anything?
