I agree, but how do we do this?

I think Brent made an astute observation. Bureaucracies always seem to
drift toward inertia, or even worse, self-destruction. They become
timid
and afraid of offending their perceived benefactors, and even forget
about
who their benefactors are!
We just have to do our best with what we have, and let it be known
when
there are deficiencies. There are many ways to band together for
mutual support, and LM_NET is one of them.
Perhaps there is a way that we can let both ISTE and the U.S.
Department
of Education know that they are ignoring school libraries in this
important document, the National Education Technology Plan.?
Please, let us all know your thoughts on this topic!
