This is probably the last email I will send to the ITA (formerly IPM)<br>list as tomorrow I retire from teaching after 42 incredible years.<br>Thank you all for your wonderful support during my time associated with<br>this list. Two things became apparant - "give and you shall receive",
<br>"ask and you shall be swamped with support". Many on our list are<br>committed givers, totally unselfish, totally supportive of one another,<br>and inspirational to us all.<br>I remember in my early months on this list, receiving an email from a
<br>now retired teacher who advised me to "Get a life" implying, I suppose,<br>that in her opinion I spent too much time preparing and sharing stuff<br>for our kids, via the IPM list. For about half an hour, this stung me
<br>into paralysis, then I thought what the heck! If you don't like it,<br>tough luck, and kept on giving.<br>Where would be be if Kevork decided to "Get a life" away from our shared<br>needs, or many of the other regular contributers?
<br>Bye to you all, guys and gals, have a great Christmas Break, and return<br>to your IT classes refreshed and inspired for another year at the<br>chalk-face.<br>Warm regards, Keith<br>Former ITA List Moderator, logging out.
