Vermont State Mathematics Coalition Launches Vermont Mathematics Parent Link 
List Serve

The Vermont State Mathematics Coalition is launching a new list serve, or 
e-mail bulletin board called Vermont Mathematics Parent Link.  This site is 
designed to help parents obtain and exchange information useful in making decisions 
concerning their child's mathematics education.  Appropriate topics for the 
list serve might include questions about changes in the SAT, about the 
traditional sequence of mathematics courses vs the integrated approach, about summer 
enrichment opportunities, or about appropriate use of the calculator at various 
levels of teaching. It is not a place to complain or name specific 
individuals. 
The list serve is administered by Bob Chaffee, Executive Director of the 
Coalition  and all submissions will be approved by him so that members will not be 
bombarded with SPAM. The mailing list will not be sold or used for any other 
purposes.   
Parents who wish to become a member of this list serve should send an e-mail 
message to <A HREF="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]</A> with a one-line message:
sub vtmathpl First Last
(where First is your first name and Last is your last name).
