What does it take to leave this site? I have tried to unsubscribe for
months now, but to no avail. Although some of the topics are most
interesting, I am irritated by the self-serving, smug style of some of your
participants. They remind me of myself some 30 years ago as a know-it-all
"expert" (redundant, perhaps, but you get the picture!) when I first
attended university. I'm too old to wade through incomprehensible gibberish
designed to confuse, and which shows off a minimum awareness of the basics
needs of our students. Instead of hypothesizing about different theories,
here's a new one for you all...teach  kids to read, write, and function in
an ever-confusing world!!

Please stop flooding my e-mail with your discussions. I'd much rather read
the latest Bill Clinton joke (shock! horror! a conservative Republican!!)

Thank you.

P.S. any grammatical/syntax errors are all mine!

language.
