Hi John --<br>
I believe the correct colloquial English translation would be "Pearls
before swine." from the Bible - Matthew 7,6;<br>
'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their feet. '<br>
<br>
Gee -- I can't imagine why anyone could feel like that. Don't the
students appreciate what we have done for them<span

I never thought I'd say this to you, but you are being too optimistic.

Okay, I'll be more German again:
<br>
<br>
"So ein Mist. Das wird nie funktionieren. Die sind doch alle doof -
Perlen vor die Säue! Wir sollten aufgeben."

Ahh, feels good to be my normal pessimistic self again.
