Teaching the CS with intent

[Frank LoPresti]

I know of several board members who don't like it for a variety of reasons and several who do, anyway, nobody is forcing anyone to use a purpose based model if they don't like it and they don't have to use it even if they do.

Interesting the two contrasting view points. I was under the assumption that at the very least y'all had a vote on the project. Kinda goes to consensus don't you think ?

[Stoatstail50]

There is no contrasting viewpoint at all, being a member of the Board just means being able to post on here Frank....its called "The Board" you and I are both "members", no-one has ever sought, or expects, a consensus amongst board members.

However, those people involved in producing, and agreeing, the SL model achieved a consensus on the terms prior to publication on here.

Thankfully that group doesn't constitute "a board" of anything...jeeez..it would be a fkn nightmare... :oh:

[Paul Arden]

Board members includes you, Frank.

[Frank LoPresti]

Exactly and I know a few of the board members who choose for whatever reason not to voice an opinion and there are probably more than a few.

So that you'd like to know who they are, simply does not mean that I am the lone voice of dissent. Admittedly even some committee members were or are still prone to think that adding translation can offset a concave tip path or that you can turn creep into forward rotational drift to some advantage. Well if that was the consensus of the committee members at the time the terms were written its no wonder that the terms turned into a blur of rod motions. Some of it is just plain confounding.

Maybe they're just pretending to agree with you?

[Frank LoPresti]

Well they're certainly not coming out in favor of your approach, especially if they are preparing to take the CI or MCI exam.

[Paul Arden]

I train a lot of instructors, Frank.

[Frank LoPresti]

Not by turning a blown anchor into a casting stroke in preparation for an exam you don't. At least I hope you don't.

[Paul Arden]

Who examined you?

[Frank LoPresti]

Not anyone I would tell that a blown anchor was actually a casting stroke that's for sure. Mac Lord and Simon.

Then why have you defined it that way?

[Frank LoPresti]

No clue what you are talking about
