You're as a big a mudslinger as anyone on the forum.

I'm gonna tell you a little story. Go back to 1988. I wanted to move from one school district in one state to a very progressive school system in another state. Because it was progressive and had superior pay and benefits, it was not an easy school system to get hired in. The jobs were highly sought after. I applied and got an interview appointment. I had provided an excellent resume, organized references, and a "Statement Of Educational Philosophy". The interview went well, and at the end of the interview, the interviewer handed me a contract to sign, which was not their usual procedure. I signed, and then asked why I had gotten the position 'on the spot'. "Your 'Statement Of Educational Philosophy'. I don't think we've ever had an applicant that had thought through things in that way and put them down on paper. It's not that we necessarily agree with everything that you wrote, but we admire that you have put together your thoughts about how education should work".

That's sort of what LearnMe has done here. I don't think he's saying that he's the first person who ever thought of these things. And I don't agree with every bit of every point he made. But he's thought about these concepts and organized them into a personal philosophy. Most of the rest of what he posts, in some way, connects to that well-thought out personal philosophy. I admire that.
it’s kind of cute that you think all these personal narratives you disperse here and there and everywhere holds a lot of interest for anyone. like some kind sacred message within. real cute.

As I said, it seems difficult for you to not include an insult in almost every post.

That's where my heart is, if I could just be nicer, but damn my eyes.

You don't come across that way, Hanni. I think you have beautiful eyes, lucky you.

I'm not looking for raves and of course in an environment where most people lean more toward religion, I'm not expecting a whole lot of agreement either, but I am quite satisfied with what attention and input I have received either way. More than I expected anyway. What I am simply hoping for is intelligent discourse about the topic at hand. What is ridiculous is for me to expect anything like that from people like you. I mean you have proven yourself and what you are about in this regard like few others have. In spades!

How a science trained person thinks that reliability is determined buy how its said over what is said ... can't mean many things.
Whatever that means...

That is like making a pie with potatoes and hoping it will taste like apple pie.
