You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

Nonetheless I'm inclined to agree Hunni - I've done both, & the interaction with other students is a big part of learning. Even if its small things, like another student knowing a better or faster way of doing something. And then there's the exchanging of ideas between students, which can in turn spark other ideas.

And of course, as Picasso said - 'Good artists copy, great artists steal'....he was well known for it apparently; taking someone else's idea & turning it into something else again.

I hope your grandkids return JanW; they surely will if they want to work here.
