I have to say, I like the way this board livens up when teachers get their students to study Bradbury. But who are they? The teachers, I mean.

Teachers: show yourselves! Who are you, and where are you?

Can't say... sorry

Hmm, big secret, eh?

I would have to be the guilty party.

Welcome, Nick from Apple Valley. No need to feel guilty!

Philnic: Was all that treasure they found in your back yard?

At first, I didn't know what jkt meant. But I gather he's referring to this Anglo-Saxon stash, which has turned up in Staffordshire (the next county to where I live, so not quite my backyard):

Treasure found in UK!?

The Dahl you say!

No guilt at all. I am excited that my kids have taken to Bradbury so well. I even changed my curriculum because of them. They appreciate all of your responses too. Some of you folks are quite the topic in my class.

Philnic:

You have to remembrer that I live in a county that is almost as large as your country so you can understand my confusion about your backyard.

Phil,

Although I basically substiute taught for a number of years in Minnesota. I was particularly pleased when an 8th grade teacher in the New London, Minnesota high school, after I had mentioned that I met Ray many years ago and had corresponded with him over the years, set it up so that I could cover his short story "The Little Drummer Boy" the next time she was going to be away from school.

So I had several days to prepare as to how I was going to do it. I wanted to make it a little more meaningful than just to read it in class. The story was in their text book so I called Ray and Marguerite answered saying that he was gone, but to call the next day at noon, which I did.

With a recorder and my telephone on speaker I interviewed Ray as to his thoughts behind the story and then played the interview each class before we went around the rooming reading it. The students enjoyed it very much.

remembrer is a good word
