I don't know you personally, and I have every reason to believe that you are a very nice person, who I would very much like to meet someday.
Jeff.
And, based on your posts, I would love to meet you. I'm sure we could talk for hours about all of these subjects. We do it at all of our schools, as I'm sure anyone that's been to one can attest to sleep deprivation.
One of the things that I appreciate most about Lynn is that I could tell that he was a seeker of the truth. It's a quality that I have found in very few of the "top" teachers. Most have arrived at a personal opinion and will not openly discuss alternate points of view.
If anyone in the world wants to help people learn, it's Lynn, and I consider him a father figure. So, any negative comment directed at him makes me want to droop somebody's lip or dot their eye.
