Intellectual Sparing LO24410

My head hurts.
I have been lurking on this list for over a year now.
I have gotten lots of insights into questions with which I am struggling.
The insights have helped to inform my thinking -- strategic thinking, and
to inform my strategic 'doing,' as well.

I wish I knew the purpose of the intellectual sparring that has been
occurring here. I have been intimidated and cowed by some of the
"dialogue" - no, I can not call it dialogue - perhaps, sparring is the
term. Some of it just breaks my heart because I feel so much aggression in
the name of peace and living through spirit and love.

I am a simple traveler, trying to bring ideas about how glorious, happy,
and wonderful kids can become in the public schools systems, just in
little old Maryland. I look to this list as a source of energy and hope. I
suppose that it's up to me to help create that energy and hope here.

Thank You.
