Hi Gary-
I agree completely with your response to Louis' continuting condemnation
of us "lesser folk". What is lacking here is any sort of replicable data

I concur with Gary's reaction. If Louis want to reflect on his own practices, no problem. However, when he uses case studies to make critical

Louis, based on her description below, I am not convinced that Marjorie's
primary motivation was based on "a hunger to learn". If
it were so, why be concerned about grades? Why not simply take
