I wanted to go over a few blog rules, which I should have been more clear on in the beginning of the year.
~Please keep comments and post topics related to what we're reading.
~Please be respectful of each other and keep the environment friendly. While some may know each other better and feel free to banter with each other, this may actually keep our newer students from posting (they may be afraid someone will be pithy towards them). Attitudes may come across more strongly in type, than in person and could inadvertently hurt someone's feelings.
Feel free to discuss any questions or comments you have about the book. This can be a great way for our class to grow more comfortable with each other and open up discussion that will make the books we read more meaningful.

first off: how can I "read everyone" if they don't all come to class?
ReplyDeletesecond: when have we ever got off topic??
third: we would never be pithy (?!?!?!?!) towards new students. I would make another comment here, but don't want to be pithy towards anyone ;)
fourth: I've sometimes found that attitudes can be less strong in type... sometimes. (sorry, off subject)
fifth: no offense, but that just sounds kinda funny; 'a few blog RULES' 'feel FREE to discuss' don't go together :D
I think that's it.
again, no offense intended, just my random thoughts.

Discussions sometimes do need rules to keep them productive.
