Absolutely agree with you Steve. I left teachers training college in 1970. I shock some teachers when I said that in all the years since I haven't taught anyone anything. I've just enabled them to learn. The problem is that in most national education systems the teacher is expected to provide the answers to pass some test at the end of the course. Thinking is not part of the curriculum. -- Dave Cotton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
