| As for me, I want a large head shot, a la Chairman Mao, put up in the center of the college campus and all of the teachers who took my lesson plans will bow and say "We're Not Worthy!" as they pass. |

Excellent quote, John.
I totally agree with it! |
Sorry, but I live in the read world, and this is a behavior to which I am unaccustomed, as are most people. Actually, given credit where credit is due goes a long way towards motivating employees, students, whomever. Old Harry Truman was a fool, as are/were most politicians. |

Harry may be a fool but if your work product is determined to be company property then the credit will go to the school and they have the ability to distribute any way they see fit. Of cource you can always voice your opinion and see if your words will hold as much weight as ole' Harry. |

You, clearly, do not understand the spirit of the quote, nor the context that johntpartee used it in. I think that you're taking it too literally.
Please scan back over the thread, reread the quote, and think about it. The penny may eventually drop. |

Good question. Maybe I should have given my profs credit.
Thanks for the thought. |
