No, no, we were talking about his 8th grade expereiences. H has a similar book
this year for his assignments but he's using it as a todo list rather than
information transfer. Although they have to get a teachers annotation when they
go to the bathroom... Somekids tend to wonder away.


On the other hand I asked one of his teachers last year to Email me if/when he
failed to turn in homework on time. She confessed she didn't know how to use
Email all that well... Well it was web based. I asked another to paste
something into an Email so I could help Aaron with it at home... (different
teacher) same excuse. I keep reminding myself that this is a select group and
MOST people don't use a computer for much more than solitaire... Teachers
included.
