NCA Convention

The 2005 convention is over and was o.k. Too many of the papers, I thought, were in the nature of thinking out loud instead of well-reasoned, well-thought out, and well-researched studies. And for the most part I thought the presenters failed to address the really important issues facing the discipline, education, the nation, and the world. There were exceptions, of course, and those were a pleasure to hear.
