Last week the family flew to Auckland, New Zealand's most populated city. Standing proud here is the city tower, the tallest point in the Southern Hemisphere. Marc did not have an opportunity to test his theory that continual height climbing tests do not cure his phobia but further soil good trousers. Alas, the Auckland tower remained a point in the distance. Instead, Penny and Marc visited schools while the boys (much to their chagrin) attended one while their parents were away. Of the schools we visited, we were certainly impressed with the commitment and integration in technology, student learning and professional development. That said, Marc was quite startled by an effusive principal that during an intensive small group discussion, removed a pen from his shirt pocket (a nice Parker pen, mind you!) and proceeded to stick it in his left ear, twirled it a bit, removed and then did it all over again with his right ear. This procedure was done while he continued to pontificate points about his school. Needless to say, Marc will never borrow at pen from that school!
