Help us to Test the Forum!
As we mentioned last time we are experimenting with a newly designed forum. We hear so often about folk who refuse to join the listservs because they don't want to receive information that doesn't interest them.
We'd like you to give our new forum a try. Remember it is only in draft format, but unlike the old one it is only one click away and doesn't require any registration. It is fast and easy to navigate.
Marina Bonello, our Elementary Section Editor, invites you to share an opinion about "dodgeball" by posting to the forum, and Isobel Kleinman our Secondary Section Editor questions the benefits of coeducational physical education. What do you think? Post your response here.
Give it a try and maybe you'll agree with those of us who would prefer to see topics discussed on a bulletin board, leaving listservs for the latest news and information.
