Looping on MEL

[Peter Butts <pbutts@EDCEN.EHHS.CMICH.EDU>]

A teacher is looking for information on "Looping": you

a) check a reference book on folk dances
b) check a guide to illegal drugs
c) reply that "yes, we're all a little loopy this time of year."
d) check the Hot Topics in Education section of MEL, the Michigan
Electronic Library (http://mel.lib.mi.us/education/edu-hot.html)

If you chose (d), you found out that "Looping" is the practice of grouping
a class of students and a teacher for more than one school year. You also
saved yourself enough time to check out the other new sites listed in the
education section of MEL
