I'm sure schools would be glad for the kids know the 
information we hope to deliver, but from my experience they 
don't want it done on their time. (Rob McC's following 
e-mail indicates he's found a more sympathetic staff at his 
kid's school.) At my son's school, they only have a bare 
1000 (or so) hrs a year to deliver their material and they 
can't possibly spare 0.1% for anything outside of it.

Anyhow be prepared for some schools to not be interested 
(duh).

I assume you mean "...and they aren't going to ask it in a 
class" in which case I agree.

we'll have to wait to see if someone picks up the ball with 
a webpage or a canned talk.
