I said in an earlier comment today that I can’t keep up with the Latinists. Between Bob in Atlanta/Athens and John in San Francisco and David Maust in L.A. and Dan Navar (I can’t tell if he is in SoCal or still in GA) and now there is Michael in Memphis and many others, I get confused. Plus, Bob is just so active. He sends me emails I can’t even keep up with and get published here, and each one carries news about the changes. I think it important that the more we keep talking about what they are doing (Latin Best Practices) the sooner the confusion over Latin being dead or just sleeping (now waking up) will be over. So I need to catch up with Bob by publishing a few of his latest emails to me here:
Here is the first:
Hey Ben –
We have a new director of FL in our district. I am FL department chair from my school. At our first district meeting with him he said that the 90% rule was our district goal in every classroom. Then he said: “There’s only one way to do that. Comprehensible Input.”
Nearly fell out of my chair. He now has me on the agenda for the next meeting.
Bob
