I do so agree and had have endless arguments with the Ministry of Education
that only translated works be used in the schools!  I have done my level
best to provide texts originally recorded fro native speakers as long as 50
years ago, from people born in the 19th century, but they want what you
describe below.  I now have online 160 texts in Jaqaru and 110 in Kawki that
can be used in the schools, as well as some 50 primers I did earlier.
Translations must NOT be used.  In the workshops the teachers had to write
original materials, which are also on the internet.  There IS original
material, Min Ed, please, please listen.

Thanks for this post.  You pushed one of my buttons.  MJ
