It take a class to make a good argument!
Teamwork !

My teacher is pretty smart, she had my class read each others counter argument and than comment on them. Not in a mean know it all kind of way, but in a helpful way. This is were we get to help one another out, cheer each other on and show support. I must say that this is one of my favorite activities.
I commented on several different blogs, and must say I really enjoyed reading them, I have learned some new things, and was able to see what my classmates where writing about.
I loved both of my comments equally
Thank you Eve for you response to my counterarguments.
Simone, There are so many reasons why bullying is wrong, but it does not seem like it is anything that will ever go away. Some kids are so unique they will never fit in, and in this country that is supposed to be a good thing.
In a women's studies class I learned that black mothers used to insult their children so their kids could learn to tough it out at school. Seems like a great coping strategy.
I like the picture of your son at the beginning of your blog.

I was able to comment on some of my peers counter arguments as well, here is the one I felt was my best.
Liz,
Wow, you have changed my mind on the Mormon faith. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for writing this, I pride myself in being an open minded person, and I must say that often I find myself surprised how close minded about a subject I can be. Thank you for your passion, this is awesome.

Simone-
ReplyDeleteBullying is something I have been passionate about since I was a kid. I was brought up in a home where my Dad was partially hard of hearing and a Mom who was an interpreter for multiple handicapped deaf children. I've always been one to help those less fortunate than myself and stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. This is a great topic. Bullying is never right in any situation. You provided great examples and explanations. I think you did an awesome job drawing your reader sharing your personal experiences.
