I love it, the kids This sounds awesome. I congratulate you on figuring out such a good method. This is NOT what I mean by "doing homework in school." In all my years of schooling, homework in school meant: * The teacher sits at his/her desk and the students sit at their desks and work silently. --> No teaching. I just said "screw this crap" and proceeded to take a 10-20 minute nap each hour of the school day, and then stayed up late working on homework. ( Why late? I had lots of extra-cirr and I preferred to read TIME or the newspaper than do homework right away. ;) ) MArk D. Smucker -------- mds@iastate.edu
