Exactly right, Heather.

To create one format, and apply it rigidly across all national 
boundaries, shoe-horning any, and all, cultural nuance encountered along 
the way into the rigid paradigm, would appear to be the very antithesis 
of what the project is all about.

Where's the open source sharing, and mutual enrichment, within that lack 
of environment?

If there's one unproductive aspect that has contributed to lack of 
learner acceptance within the traditional education environment, it's 
the rigid frame of presentation that stifles individual perception, 
limiting the new generation to the staid  viewpoint of the old. Enforced 
by 'only-one-right-answer' examination requirements, fresh perception is 
slaughtered in its cot, and innovation is verboten.

Who knows what fresh slant on licensed presentation a tribal educator 
may supply to a British public school environment?

Give it half a chance.

Apologies to all those who thought I might have gone away.

Not.

David Palmer.
