Friends,
In retrospect now I am sorry that I posted my feelings on this topic.
Perhaps I should have left out the part about "students" as I guess I was
just looking for some peers to discuss with - but this is not an appropriate
use either.
In my own defense, I think the analogy to "asking students to send a dollar"
is a bit strained. If you ask students to think about or notice something,
they may very well draw their own conclusions about it - their perfect right.
It's not like anyone is guaranteed to benefit or be able to exploit them on
this issue.
So, that's it. Please don't run me out of the cyber community on an
electronic rail. I'll try to restrain similar impulses in the future.
Peace.
