----- Original Message ----- From: Ruthi - rsheffer@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Jimmy Backer's post I would like to thank Jimmy for the long ,informative and scary post. At least this confirms what I had already suspected. We are up against some serious nonsense in the HOTS lit program, and we really have to get together to sort out how we are going to proceed. We cannot be forced into something so uneducational and wrong minded.We are serious professionals on this list, whose goal is to help students to succeed in English Lang and Lit, and it is eminently clear that HOTS is going to make our job a whole lot more difficult than it is already.Any bright ideas?
