As an NBCT teacher in an urban district, I disagree with this statement. I'd be happy to share the work of my students if you'd like to compare. I do, however, have problems with the Nat'l Board, but they're mostly financial and political. I've spent quite a bit of time in Washington, and they're connections with policy makers there is not nearly as strong as it should be. They haven't provided much research backing their effectiveness, either. -ML -- Michael Lach Science Department Lake View High School Chicago, IL -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the ARN-L list, send command SIGNOFF ARN-L to LISTSERV@LISTS.CUA.EDU.
