[LM_NET] SHARE: A better tune

[Steven Patnode <Sun85@AOL.COM>]

After that somewhat dismal message yesterday ("same old song"),
I thought I'd share a happier moment tonight.
 
This morning I had a group of eighth graders in, continuing their
research on social reformers of the 19th century.  I was helping  to
proofread their proposal essays (in part to show them the problems
with trusting spellcheck too much).   I came across one young  fellow who
wrote in part,  "I am choosing Frederick Douglass and Harriet  Tubman
because they were both abolitionists, and because I found two great  books
in the library with a lot of information about them."  
 
Hallelujah!
Steve
 
 
 
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles,  
discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things  distinguishes 
the strong soul from the weak. Thomas Carlyle
