Lines: 17 >> The emergence of unions and government feelings that they "know better" >> who is a good teacher have deteriorated the level of education to a >> shocking degree... Do any of you use, or hear used, "deteriorate" as an ACTIVE verb in this way? Does the "emergence" pertain to "government feelings" also [:-)] or merely to "unions". [Ed. note: not to mention structs...] I don't like the term "government feelings". Is this author talking about the fixed (bureaucratic) response to social problems, as opposed to the political response that is election-driven? Too many bits wasted already in nit-picking.... Shocking indeed... [:-)] -- Ben Cranston ...seismo!umcp-cs!zben zben@UMD2.ARPA
