Hi Jenna, I enjoyed reading your thoughtful comments. I agree with what you said about our discussion and I wish you had jumped in and helped keep the class on topic! We could have used you! I, too, thought it was ping-ponging a bit, but I wanted to see if the class would bring it back on topic. A few made a valiant effort. In the future I will make an effort to encourage our going deeper instead of wider. Patti
