Actually Nigel I did do a search yesterday to try to get an idea of others besides myself and Will who saw this the same way. I did find in the search a topic from I believe 2002 maybe it was 2003. It was not introduced by either Will or myself. It was kind of amusing to read over it. You and I sound like broken records. I will bump it up for you so you can see that Will and I were not the ones to bring it up that year and I bet that would be the case in some subsequent years too. You probably have the perception that we do because we both post a lot about it when it comes up just like you do.

Typically though I think this subject is brought up by parents of 8th graders. I know it is discussed by parents outside of the forum too, especially by parents of 8th graders. I am pretty sure that it has been brought up this year on another topic by someone other than Will although he did bring it up again in that Freshman topic yesterday.

One thing for sure since my son is a 9th grader this year, this is the last year you will have to concern yourself with me on this particular issue. Now I will go see if I can find that topic and bump it up to confirm to you that I or Will did not introduce that year at least.
