-- Elina Lampert-Shepel Assistant Professor Graduate School of Education Mercy College New Teacher Residency Program Mercy College 66 West 35th Street New York, NY 10001 (212) 615 3367I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a violin string is supposed to do - to produce music. So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then it is free to be a violin string.
