Welcome James Edward Charles....that's going to cause me problems, being the two thumbs typer I am. What shall we call you? (besides Your Highness!)
It's the end of the academic year here in Malaysia so everybody but District staff are off on holidays 'til the New Year and I will be getting sorted out with a new place to live (possible in a new city) before I start my doctoral studies in Jan. So it may be a bit lonely here at TEACH for a while, but please feel free to read the discussions I started and post any questions or comments. We all look forward to some lively ones in the New Year. Good opportunity to get some local teachers on board! Glad to have you with us. - William [How did your parents miss that king! Oh! wrong country <:-).]
