I read with great nostalgia Farmer Bobs post about the 1 room schoolhouse. He mentioned Net-sook and Kalaya in primer geography and he is "right-on", takes me back 60 years!! Right, they lived on Baffin Island. But they were the second chapter,,,, do you remember who was the first chapter of that text? His name was Bunga and he lived in Malaysia. The posts are correct, I could have gone from the 8th grade into college except for a bit of algebra in high school. My one roomer is long gone but there is still one of the two outhouses there and (tho a thousand miles away) I still see it every couple of years and it brings back many fond memories. From what I hear from some of my friends who are currently in the teaching field, education (as we knew it) is GONE! Several years back I was involved with a re-finance of some partnership owned property and asked the banker what the appraisal was. He said "I can't tell you that because we paid for that appraisal; I can, how-ever tell you how much we will loan you, which is 80% of the appraisal". I said "I don't need your appraisal number; the 80% figure will do me just fine and I'll know the appraisal number in a matter of seconds. Third case in percentage for those of you who have forgotten. He said "Mr Howard, there isn't one in a hundred that come in here that would know how to do that!We're in trouble folks!!!! Joe Howard
