RE: Point-Level-Phase-Behavior Modification Systems/Models

["Ken Little" <ken-little@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are children who react to point-level-phase behavior mod. systems in
precisely the opposite direction.

In developing systems I always try to build in system-wide flexibility in
order to leave room for these guys / girls to experience success in
programming.

There's no sense in having to discharge kids from programming just because
they react in a contrary manner to the base behavior mod. system.
