This message has very little to with PPS, but it is concerned on-line education
and distance learning. I believe that if our endevours in on-line education is
to succeed, we will need to encourage students the youngest possible ages. If
you have a minute, send a post off and show that elementary school teacher the
power of on-line communication! Thanks :)
ps- forgive me if I have posted this to the incorrect list.

Subject: Willing to help a young student?
Found this in my e-mail box today, and thought it to be a worthwhile cause.
Please respond if you're inclined. My bet is that the students have a much
better idea about the number of responses than the teacher! Send it on to
others, if you wish

Elementary School near Worcester, Massachusetts, USA.
Jason and I are doing a science project and we need your help.
The project is on email: worldwide communication in seconds!!!!.
We are trying to get as many messages from different countries and
cities around the world, just by posting this to a few USENET
newsgroups and some famous people's email addresses as printed in
PEOPLE magazine, we're sorry if it might be off topic but we were
trying to get widespread general worldwide distribution of this
note.
Please send a note with the following information:
