LM_NET 08/31/99: No Subject

It's me again!  Thanks to those who sent Subject: Re: LM_NET Digest - 27 Aug 1999 
to 28 Aug 1999
  There were two suggestions:

1) File
Manage identities
Properties
Type in name

2) Tools/Accounts/Mail/Properties/General, type in name

In _both_ places, my name is listed as Deb L., yet as you see, my mail is
_still_ going out with my full name!  This is strange!!  Any other
suggestions?

I'm using Win98, IE, Outlook Express 5 (version 5.00.2014.211) on an Acer
Aspire.

TIA

<<  They have a list of books from 3rd grade level to 8th grade filled with
Newbery winners and great books that they have purchased classroom sets for
and will be using to teach reading for the school grade 5th through 8th. They
asked me to remove all copies of those titles from the library to avoid
having their students reading those books they will be studying. >>

I am posting this to the list because I have a question related to this
discussion that I would like to have answered from someone who has taught
reading.  Why is it that in the 24years since I have graduated from High
School, educators have decided that the best way to teach a novel is to read
it in class, chapter by chapter, so that students cannot immerse themselves
in the book?  Also, when was it decided that a student could get no benefit
from reading a book in a class that they had already read for themselves?  I
have a son who loves to read, but has never enjoyed a single classroom novel
because he has to read it at the pace of the slowest member of the class,
then wait for the teacher to catch up (throwing in other lessons so she can
meet state standards, etc.)  It took his 6th grade class nine weeks to read
"The Whipping Boy."  By time they were done, it was difficult to remember
what had happened in the first few chapters.  You can reply to me if you want
to express your opinion.  I'm just curious as to whether there are any
studies that have shown this to be an effective way to teach reading.
