I was kind of entertained by that and then I saw the tweet you made while ago about facebook and I got to thinking about it... I agree with what you said... you go where the students are. I think that's how you should approach anything you want to reach people with... you go where they are... because most people aren't going to come to you. <br /><br />BUT... how far is too far? I absolutely think education needs to play a bigger part in kids lives... real education, not learn-stuff-for-the-test education... but if it's everywhere... even in their face on their downtime... is that too much? If they can't escape something for a while, is that going to lead to resentment/avoidance?<br /><br />- tAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
