Hi Todd
Cool!  What didn't you like about the article?  I don't consider myself an 
education expert, but I thought the points about eliminating recess were 
interesting, among others.

this is not meant to be to confrontational, but I wanted to put this out 
there
as a second opinion on the Orion article:  though it makes a few decent 
points
worthy of consideration, that article is overall deeply flawed and
self-contradictary in both it's reasoning and conclusions.

If anyone is interested in why I say this, I would be glad to discuss it
off-group.

All of that being said, thank you Matt for posting the article and also
posting
the link to your blog. I think you are right on about senior citizens
and their
awesome wealth of experience and wisdom.

take care,
todd
