Dear Colleagues, As convener of the BERA SIG, I am respectfully asking you to draw a line under the recent discussions about the more personal issue Sarah has raised. I understand that hurts and principles may be involved. No doubt they can be discussed elsewhere or privately, rather than in the more public arena of these postings. I regret any hurts that I may cause, but feel that we must move on in our discussions. Thank you for your tolerance. Brian Brian E. Wakeman Education adviser Dunstable Beds
