What an encouraging story!!! Some good rockin` for the younger generation
:-) In your daughter`s place I`d correct the teacher too, and I`ll just tell
him, go sit at my desk while I`ll tell everyone about the who! Sounds like
the teacher made real serious mistakes, that could turn the who story into
some very different story :-) If you`re goin` to tell yer students about
something, why not find out as much as possible? Why come to the class being
half-sure that what you`re saying is true, or in hope that they will never
know you didn`t know something...
