I had to pick you up on the last word. I expect that LO is "dogma" and, if
not, then that should be our objective to make it so. It is important that
we distinguish between "dogma" which is neutral and "dogmatic" which has a
negative connotation.
Our ideal outcome is to have an accepted dogma without being dogmatic
about it, which is your main point and I agree with it. If we can just
shake the roots of our education in which there is one right answer, we
will all be learning more! ...Keith
