Why spend so much time and energy concerned about who gets the credit. Let others waste their energy on DUE CREDIT and WHO'S THE BEST.

Once again- it is about Intellectual Property and preventing others from capitalizing on original ideas without due credit. Again- Homer would tell you that he didn't invent the golf swing but he did develop- Extensor Action, Flying Wedges, Accumulators, etc. These are Intellectual Property, original concepts. I hope you take and use these concepts for all they're worth. But a teacher that earns a living should at the very least, know who built their career. Homer Kelley should be at the top of the list, not some footnote or private resource for many. Others get credit, it is time Homer and his life earns some respect also.
