<p class="MsoNormal">I just now found this, one hour before the expiration. I would not have received it at all if Melanie had not passed it on. I suspect there are a lot of people who are very interested in this situation that did not receive this survey.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with you Melanie. Something surely needs to be done, but there is a lot of things that need to be considered to make sure the students will receive proper instruction. I think there has already been a lot of planning
going on that we don’t know about.<o:p></o:p></p>
