ABSTRACT
You know who they are. They have powerful representatives in every school at every grade level in every school district in the country. They gather in the back of our faculty meetings reading the newspaper or thumbing through mail-order catalogues. They will noisily leave the meeting at the most inopportune times to refill their coffee cup or check their e-mail for items that probably shouldn’t be sent through school mail. And they often don’t bother to return to the meeting.
