I've been commenting on the
Times Standard Forum. In particular, I've posted several comments to
this forum. A fair number of posts in these forums are...hmm, what shall I call it? Fallacious discourse is probably the most accurate, and diplomatic. Ad hominem occurs quite frequently. Some posters do not appear to have even read the article they are commenting on. Still, there are some thoughtful and apparantly informed posters, and I appreciate many of the ideas I've read. I hope that I can find meaningful and worthwhile discourse that somehow increases public awareness and involvement, or at least mine. May the posts like this:
Parents need to take more responsibility. I am on Power School once a week checking on my child's progress and if I need to, I call teachers to find out what's going on. Parents need to be at Back to School Night and have the Teacher's email addresses and be more pro-active.
and less posts like this
I think the tard should be graduated anyway. Someone has to man all the local business that tarsd obviously run anyway. Any kid with a future has already left Humboldt anyway, except for the gangsta growers of course.
I will comment on, and see what comes of it.
