As I am reading the responses to my post, I'm agreeing completely with
what everyone is saying. The thing I realize is that we are preaching to
a converted crowd here. How can I convince people that they need this
class. I know I can sway them to the wonder of puppetry once I get them
through the door, but it's the getting them in that's tricky.
