I hit the button BEFORE I typed the title---no luck. You did this with the I button. Try the same but hit the U button. Maybe you need a newer Windows (ha ha) Happy bunny day everyone. Off to the M-I-Ls now (mother-in-law)

Replying to: driver100 (Apr 10, 2009 4:52 am) In 1973, we had a grant from the Feds to teach at-risk high school students to read. These students had simply been "socially promoted" through the grades. As department chair, my principal asked me to teach the class. The fed requirement was to teach using their phonics program. Aiming to please, I gave it my best shot. After three months, there was no progress. I went to the old book room and pulled a set of Dick and Jane books. After two months, the students had progressed two grade levels. At the end of the year, I had them on grade level. I never told the Feds or the principal how I did it. IMHO, the sight words and pictures were so much better than the phonics approach---at least for older students. As you say, times have changed. Children want to be entertained while they are being instructed---a difficult task at best. Richard

...the kids today like things the grosser the better. Hey - it's always been that way! Remember your Grimm's fairy tales... the original ones before the PC people cleaned them up in the 30's. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/grimm/index2.html Of course, I have to admit that I do like this particular more modern version of Little Red Riding Hood... somehow it rings more true to my experience of life for me..... http://books.google.com/books?id=areW3sCQf1YC&pg=PA229&dq=thurber+little+red+rid- - - ing+hood+lion

Replying to: jipster (Apr 09, 2009 8:17 am) All the info is in the window. I did let a guy test drive it last night. He seemed to like it. But, he also said he was looking for something a little "older". I told him $27K would buy it right now. He didn't balk at my price. He said he wanted to stick in that "under $25K" range. I'm sure he was putting out a feeler to see if I'd bite. If the weather's nice, I'll get more play on it this weekend. joel....you kind of reinforced what I'm thinking. Last summer, with gas at over $4/gal, nobody would touch an SUV. Customer panic set in and they took a bath on them as a trade. once that hysteria died down, you guys made some nice gross on those "undervalued" SUV trades. Both the Hyundai dealership and the Acura dealership are owned by the same principal. Matter of fact, they're both within a 100 yards of each other. While I don't know this as fact, I'd say that their used car SM is probably one and the same. Therefore, that's why the offer at both dealerships came in at the same "$4,000" less than I wanted for it. I may give my Chevy dealer a call to see what they say the market is. Don't really want to do that as they'll want to put me in one of their vehicles if they find out I'm shopping the Tahoe.
