PLZ TAKE NOTES

GIVE THE SPEAKER THE CUSTOMARY COURTESY AND ATTENTION

THINK ABOUT WRITING AN ITEM FOR YOUR BLOG ABOUT WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY


I HAVE ASKED JUDY TO TALK ABOUT:


who you are

what you do on the blog

how you do it

what kind of feedback you get

what kind of impact you have

what's fun


I TOLD HER THE PRESENTATION

could be 15 or 20 minutes or more depending on her read of the audience.

we'll encourage dialogue and questions.

there is some interest in home schooling and failure of schools to deliver services while going beyond their roles in other areas [intrusion, civil rights violations, etc.]

REMEMBER, THE BEST WAY TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR A GUEST IS TO BE PREPARED AND TO SHOW THAT BY ASKING AGGRESSIVE AND THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS.
