Re: ISED-L Digest - 21 Oct 2007 to 22 Oct 2007 (#2007-160)

Hangout sounds like a great idea! We do something similar here at
Maimonides and it works really well.

When did schools decide that it is a priority to teach kids how to dance
and have awkward, potentially excluding social interactions sponsored by
us? (Tongue somewhat planted in cheek on this one.) It does seem to be one
of those traditions that we just keep on doing without really questioning
whether it is mission driven or has any educational value.
