			       ... and WELLness
		      -------------------------------------

          from the Mainland:   "When you drink from a well, remember
				those who dug the well."  [*]

            from the Island:   "A frog that lives in a well thinks
				his well is the whole world." [**]

  the loon to the cormorant:   "well, well, well,... "

  the loon's schoolteachers to the loon:
                        " Well... this is NONSENSE! "
			"These quotes are totally out of context!!!
			 If only we, teachers, had had that loon
			 under our wing for a longer spell
			 and if we had a job that had us
                         working 40 hours a week with year
			 round employment like other Professionals.
			 And if we could nurture our students at
			 critical junctures in their development
			 with some one-on-one (royal tutelage)
			 to stimulate their growth in
			 math/arts/latin/you-name-it....
			 And if our schools were modeled after private
			 schools, and there was something like the
			 New York Regents required throughout the U.S....
			 And more involvement by and power for Parents...
			 And if some of us [who aren't allowed to work
			 directly with students for various reasons]
			 were shifted to computers [those effected would
			 at least be able to teach students indirectly].
			 And, MOST importantly, we received more
			 positive, constructive support from all concerned.
			 THEN...

		      ...that loon never would have escaped from reality!!!

     the loon:  GIMME A BREAK... Nothing's that simple.
