There's a whole generation (or two) of people who have never heard a "tom swiftie" in their lives. "Tom haltingly cried 'Stop!'..." "Tom spied his friend doing the backstroke swimmingly..." Heh heh.

To be able to actually educate kids rather than just teaching them how to recite by rote must be a herculean task. Reminds me of the old Danny Dunn series of books I read as a kid. The one where Danny had access to a room size Supercomputer and used it for his school work. Now we have computers that are 10 times more powerful that sit on the desk in our homes. For those old enough to remember how things were "Pre-Internet", the difference in information availability is truly astounding.. Michale..... One has to admire the creativity of teachers these days.
