If you send email, it helps to know if you are a teacher, preservice
teacher, parent, or student, and what course you are teaching or taking.
(I'd also love to know where you are writing from.)
If you would like a reply, please be patient...I frequently fall behind in my email by a week or two. But I will try
to answer as soon as I can. Page last updated July 5, 2001 |
