You can encourage, you can educate, and you can cajole, but as the saying goes: “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” All we can continue to do is what is best for us and our own programs. It may seem mean, but eventually you just have to leave the rest behind – you can’t hold their hand forever. On the flip side, until districts stop filtering and/or LMSers start putting their foot down, the listserv may be the only way for everyone to have access to the SCASL network from schools.
