I was thinking as I wrote it how much vocabulary played a part in the equation, but I had not linked it to the impact to could have in the more global sense in the areas you mention. My thoughts were centered more in the realm of literacy. I thought that was a big idea--granted one already researched and waiting for enough people to take seriously.<BR/><BR/>I can't write any more, because I keep interrupting myself imagining the possibilities of what you have just proposed.

People like you wouldn't need a class to remember it. And unlike me--I'm a little inconsistent on this point--I bet you'd remember it when you were talking, and not just when other people were talking. <BR/><BR/>The point is so subtle, a lot of people would have looked at me like I was crazy--or worse gotten mad at me--for asking him to change the question because they wouldn't see the point. In fact there was one in the room who did. She was the kind that no leadership class would ever help and showed that later in that same meeting.<BR/><BR/>smiles,<BR/>Liz"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1125921262613823312005-09-05T06:54:00.000-05:002005-09-05T06:54:00.000-05:00Hey FineArtist, thanks, It was a most important me...Hey FineArtist, <BR/>thanks, <BR/>It was a most important meeting I don't what possessed me to interrupt him like that--probably that it was a most important meeting.<BR/><BR/>smiles<BR/>liz"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1125920329715315252005-09-05T06:38:00.000-05:002005-09-05T06:38:00.000-05:00"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used..."Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."<BR/> -- Rudyard KiplingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1125918357976338942005-09-05T06:05:00.000-05:002005-09-05T06:05:00.000-05:00This is good point for people in leadership positi...This is good point for people in leadership positions to rememeber.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-1125906602729727642005-09-05T02:50:00.000-05:002005-09-05T02:50:00.000-05:00Powerful, thanks, I am going to remind myself of t...Powerful, thanks, I am going to remind myself of this in my classroom, and all over the place in my personal life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
