To piggyback on Lee Ann's message:

Our intermediate librarian is in the same position with about the same
number of students. One of our other librarians suggested we ask here for
some TEACHER TESTIMONIALS in support of flex scheduling. The rationale
was that her teachers might be more receptive to hearing good things said
by other teachers, not just librarians (who are perceived as having a
vested interest in this).

So how about it? Any good quotes from TEACHERS who now like flex scheduling?
