Re: [LM_NET] Administrators Who Make Our Best Practice Possible

[Judy Gayle <jlgaylecmc@YAHOO.COM>]

You make such a great point.  In my experience there
are far more administrators who want the best for
students than the worst.  Most administrators are
looking for answers to education's problems just like
we are.  I have also been fortunate to work with many
administrator who brought out the best in most
situations.  Thanks for your positive statement and
attitudes!
