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!
