Me too!
Even if it's only when somebody on a list says that a teacher once said that
they heard it from a cow-orker who heard it over the phone at an unspecified
time in the past. Contradicting the decision of the board of trustees.

the time. As a matter of policy for the whole group. Glad we have that
direct line of communication to tell us how unworthy we are of agency.
