[Tom Zurinskas]

It's good to see that at least one person here is interested in child
instruction.  The Cheli Cerra
unfotunately is very commercial.

>   Cerra was identified without elucidation as a "Child Success
>Specialist." This seems to mean "speaker on issues concerning elementary
>and secondary education" but is far catchier.

>   Her promotional website
>[http://www.educationspeakersgroup.com/c_cerra.html] says that "Cheli, a
>wife and working mother of two, understands the reality of everyday life
>and creates strategies to meet these challenges quickly and easily."

>   Wow !  How many of *us* can meet the challenges of reality "quickly and
>easily" ?  That's why she's the specialist ! (And "considered 'America’s
>Most Trusted Principal'"
