First, let me apologize for sending this on Raven.  I did not do as
directed and file the new Faculty List in a separate folder, and now I
can't find it.  Whoever sent out that information, please resend it to
me.  Thank you.

Now, to the reason for this mailing.  II found the following in an
Education List Serve that I get periodically, and it seems like an
excellent idea.  What do you all think?

NEW TEACHERS IN GEORGIA NOW COME WITH A TWO-YEAR WARRANTY
In Georgia, school district officials who decide a teacher isn't
performing up to standards can send the ineffective teacher back to
college for additional training during the first two years on the job.
Neither the school system nor the teacher will be charged for the extra
courses. The guarantee, which applies to graduates of the University
System's 15 teacher education programs, kicked in with teachers who
graduated last spring. So far, university officials say they haven't
gotten any requests to take a teacher back. The program appears to be the
nation's first large-scale effort to stand by the quality of teachers
coming out of college programs.
