And frankly I did not see where King was picking on SEI or me for that matter. In some PM's we had a nice civil exchange and he showed an honest desire to really inform himself. We could have had the same discussion in person and I think really enjoyed ourselves. As could everyone who participated in the thread.
It would have been lively yes but we'd have all gone home unbruised, unhurt, and perhaps with a greater understanding of each other and our views. Who knows we also might have found things we could have used in our classes to benefit our students.
Isn't that the ultimate goal?
A huge +1!
I'm honestly unhappy that SEI doesn't have an active instructor nearer to me that I could contact and attempt to audit a course just to see what they do differently.

LIVES4SHARKS:The thread would have been split if it had started to go heavily negative against any agency. The thread had been split to the Whine and Cheese since that is not a heavily moderated forum where the TOS is not as strict. That thread has now been opened.
