I've been helping several classes do research projects on the civil war...class after class after class day after day after day..................................ok..............................its very much like im a classroom teacher in some ways (though not in any way all ways, with the preparation, the grading, the parents, the cleaning and the washing.............wait, i'm sounding like Ringo now.......) and it has been fantastic.....................here's the deal : 6-8 times a day this whole week iv'e been able to clarify the difference betwixt line -v- column, muskets -v- rifles, calvery in 1860 -v- calvery in 1815, shells -v- cannon balls, and field pieces -v- howitzers, etc...........there’s also been a lot of ruff stuff, like poetry and music in the civil war that is just so hard to find good stuff that secondary school kids can use (don’t give me any 400 page manuscripts written in 1878, please)…………………it’s nice to be appreciated, by the kids and the teachers..........…love is all around and all that, y know, no need to waste it etc………….
