American School Directory

[MarjorieP@AOL.COM]

     I have been following this discussion about the American School
Directory and I am wondering if anyone has approached a secondary principal
who is an active member of NASSP.  I am surprised this association has been
willing to be a sponsor to a company that operates in this manner.  I suspect
the leadership of NASSP does not know about the practices we have been
uncovering on this listserv.
     Apple and IBM are also being tainted by this discussion.  Those of you
who are in schools that make big purchases of either Apple or IBM products
need to be conveying a synopsis of this conversation to executives in both of
these companies to let them know their advertising money is backfiring on
them.  Money is the bottom line here.  Obviously this company has a
significant promotion budget and it must be coming from their sponsors.
