Rebecca wrote in reporting on her teaching:

"This approach, one teacher reports, is working far far better than the correctionist
approach she had taken with her inner city 3rd grade students before she
took my class on language varieties."

Rebecca, this is a terrific bit of anecdotal evidence. Is there any way
this could be made less anecdotal and reported in publication? We really
need evidence like this!!
