Sounds like you need to get the guy who understands meeting procedure to chair the meeting.

I suppose on the positive side, we can say this state of affairs provides these academics a safe clean indoors job with no heavy lifting. They have only to keep in good with their paymasters - the state - to make sure the gravy train keeps running. Indoctrinating each rising generation with a steady supply of neo-Marxoid state-worshipping fables should do the trick.

Only ask: would anyone voluntarily pay for these people to do this?

got a redirect..
http://onlineopinion.com.au/display.asp?page=guide
to not get the article
am trying again

i would write
that a page to write on..would be helpfull
with little hints questions..that explasin a basic concept

much like a minisurvey
that outlines a point of discussion

[that auto prases..the links etc
or auto formats..the proper protocols]

anyhow i must have the article by now

my thoughts before reading
are that a stoney garden[in spirit speak]
means material fruits..[rocks]unchanging rocks

think of peter being the 'rock'..of the church
[unchanging material minded]...

learn to yearn for spirit fruits
a fruitfull life = a fruitfull 'garden'

live a life that builds good fruits
not rock gardens..]

education should consist of doing
thinking..teaching a love of learning

darn need to download 4 more pages

education is the highest calling
learning is best done...with teaching it

simply/clearly
...uppermost..in mind

if they dont get it
its cause you didnt..then worse

didnt teach them..how to learn it/find it
voice it [live it]
by themselves

It sounds typical of some of the profs and lecturers encountered in some Oz university postgraduate classes. They did not present any ideas of their own. In fact, they even got out of giving lectures, as they got students to each prepare and give a lecture on an allocated segment of the course. That meant that students got to know a lot about a little bit of the course, but only a little about a lot of the course.
