   Recently someone posted a message looking for
sixth grade keypals. I asked our kids if they
were interested, found some who were, and sent
a message directly to the postor saying we
were interested. No reply.  I repeated the
message several days later. Still no reply.
   Back in December someone posted a survey of
Christmas customs. I spend quite a bit of time
with our math class taking a survey in our school
and sent in the results.  The kids were very excited.
No reply.  I have sent directly three requests for
a copy of the results. No reply.
        Folks, this kind of thing is not only disappointing
for the kids and frustrating for me, but it undercuts
the whole purpose of the Internet in schools.
   I realize that we all have time constraints, but
if you are going to post messages, please be sure to
budget time to reply.
