| jamisonS | 3/4 4:14 PM | umm I don't know |
| angier | 3/4 4:14 PM | ok thanks |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:14 PM | I don't think so |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:14 PM | I don't even know her |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:15 PM | Yeah, I think UVA basketball is great |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:15 PM | A lot better than here at Tech |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:15 PM | yeah |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:15 PM | We hope to become better, though, in a couple of years |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:15 PM | but that Tech game last night was good |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:15 PM | That is right |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:15 PM | against Rutgers |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:16 PM | So, let's talk about music again |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:16 PM | Why do you like Rage Against the Machine? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:16 PM | alright |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:16 PM | because they're awesome |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:16 PM | Why? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:16 PM | Tom Morello |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:17 PM | I don't particually agree with the lyrics |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:17 PM | but |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:17 PM | I mean they do rock |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:17 PM | musically they're good |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:17 PM | I was impressed that you lock |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:17 PM | They actually try to teach a lesson with their music |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:17 PM | You like Audioslave now? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:17 PM | I'm not a activist |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:18 PM | Neither am I |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:18 PM | yeah |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:18 PM | They're alright |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:18 PM | Tell me a little more about your brother and sisters again |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:18 PM | You have family at both universities? |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:18 PM | VT and UVA |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:19 PM | well my uncle and aunt works at UVA |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:19 PM | my brother is at VT |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:19 PM | I see |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:19 PM | and my dad works there |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:19 PM | Are you planning on going to either schools? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:19 PM | are you in Liberal Arts and Human Sciences |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:20 PM | that college? |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:20 PM | Yeah, I think so |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:20 PM | Ok |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:20 PM | I think it is time to talk about the book |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:20 PM | R U Ready?!?!?!!? |
| angier | 3/4 4:20 PM | i am |
| angier | 3/4 4:20 PM | : ) |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:20 PM | Yeah my dad is the Ass. Dean for finance in that college |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:20 PM | sure |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:21 PM | Well, if I have any problems, I will come to you |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:21 PM | hah |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:21 PM | yeah |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:21 PM | I'm going to W&M |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:21 PM | What did you think of the book? |
| angier | 3/4 4:21 PM | i enjoyed it |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:21 PM | I thought it was good |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:21 PM | What about the book did you enjoy? |
| angier | 3/4 4:22 PM | i liked how it was set up with the memos and stuff |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:22 PM | I mean the ending dragged on a little |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:22 PM | the message was clear about the way media affects the news |
| angier | 3/4 4:22 PM | i liked the ending - how he didn't know the words to the song |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:22 PM | That was certainly interesting |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:22 PM | the end was good but it was predictable |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:23 PM | As a student about the same age, could you relate to Phillip? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:23 PM | I saw that coming |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:23 PM | Could you see yourself being in that same situation? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:23 PM | A little bit |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:23 PM | hold on a miniute |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:24 PM | So, Angie, do you like the MOO so far? |
| angier | 3/4 4:24 PM | yes i do...it's interesting to listen to you guys talk about sports and such |
| angier | 3/4 4:25 PM | do u like it?\ |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:25 PM | Remember the book was ten years old |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:25 PM | Interesting to talk to people in this forum |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:25 PM | Yes, it is |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:25 PM | so some things are dated |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:25 PM | is that important to the topic of the book? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:25 PM | but I mean some of it was realistic |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:25 PM | I think so |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:25 PM | It speaks on the media |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:26 PM | Can you remember some of the things that were going on at that time? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:26 PM | Well I mean now we say the Pledge of Alleigace |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:26 PM | That is true |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:26 PM | Do you do that everyday? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:26 PM | yes |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:26 PM | and as a matter of fact |
| angier | 3/4 4:26 PM | we didn't do that when i was your age |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:27 PM | it is a joke that me and my friends say the Pledge loud |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:27 PM | and patriotic |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:27 PM | Why is that a joke? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:27 PM | and my teacher doesn't mind |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:28 PM | I think in 1990 there was a huge generation gap between teachers and students |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:28 PM | now I think the gap is closing |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:28 PM | I do think the teachers are much younger now |
| angier | 3/4 4:28 PM | and kids seem to grow up faster |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:28 PM | I believe most of the students in this class are in their early 20s |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:28 PM | That is true |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:28 PM | I don't know it's funny because no one else does it |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:29 PM | That point is a point in the book, though |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:29 PM | Why do you think the teacher in the book gets mad at Phil? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:29 PM | I think it's a point of perspective |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:29 PM | generation |
| asharp | 3/4 4:29 PM | hi everyone - I'm Alison. Sorry I'm late, I student teach at a High School in Roanoke, so I just got back |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:30 PM | Hello Alison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:30 PM | hi |
| angier | 3/4 4:30 PM | do you think the teacher was right to send phil out of the room? |
| asharp | 3/4 4:30 PM | nice to "meet" you : ) |
| angier | 3/4 4:30 PM | hey alison |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:30 PM | I think Phil was breaking a rule |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:30 PM | However, I do think the point Jamison made is pertinent |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:30 PM | The teacher was older, and she could not relate to her students |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:30 PM | to a 60 year old it's rude |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:31 PM | Phil was not trying to be mean to her, he was just blowing off steam |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:31 PM | What do you think? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:31 PM | to a 14 year old it's a way of their expression |
| asharp | 3/4 4:31 PM | it seems that is where the problem is - they were not communicating well - do you guys agree? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:31 PM | that's sound dumb |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:31 PM | but for some that is true |
| angier | 3/4 4:31 PM | but he was doing it more for attention b/c he knew she would get mad |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:32 PM | Well I don't think it says that |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:32 PM | it's perspective |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:32 PM | Yes |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:32 PM | the book is on the different points of views and the "truths" from each character |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:33 PM | that's what it's all about |
| asharp | 3/4 4:33 PM | ...sorry.. was catching up by reading the conversation... lets talk about perspective |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:33 PM | Who's perspective was correct? |
| asharp | 3/4 4:33 PM | how did the format of the book give you different perspectives? |
| asharp | 3/4 4:33 PM | well... is there a correct one? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:33 PM | No one was there to hear it |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:33 PM | Good question |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:33 PM | That's right |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:34 PM | Who should you believe? |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:34 PM | Who is telling the "truth?" |
| angier | 3/4 4:34 PM | i felt myself siding with narwin sometimes during the book and other times siding w/ phil |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:34 PM | Well to me it sounded like Malloy's classmates didn't want Miss Narwin to get fired |
| asharp | 3/4 4:34 PM | well, what is "truth" to Mrs. Narwin? |
| asharp | 3/4 4:35 PM | and how does that compare to Malloy's "truth?" |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:35 PM | Her truth is that no one should be singing at stand in respect because |
| angier | 3/4 4:35 PM | i feel she felt he was being rude to her bc she felt he was humming to gain attention. she asked him to stop more than once |
| asharp | 3/4 4:36 PM | I like your point Jamison |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:36 PM | in HER generation or when SHE was in school |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:36 PM | SHE didn't say anything |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:36 PM | So, Jamison, if you were the teacher.... |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:36 PM | What would you have done? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:36 PM | I wouldn't mind |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:36 PM | it |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:37 PM | I'd be like the other teacher |
| asharp | 3/4 4:37 PM | now... what was truth about the situation to Malloy? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:37 PM | Benson |
| asharp | 3/4 4:37 PM | yea, he was laid back |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:37 PM | that's his name |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:37 PM | What do you say we talke about the media? |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:37 PM | talk |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:37 PM | alright |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:38 PM | What are your impressions on the media at THIS time? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:38 PM | Well basically the neighbor (Cooke?) is trying to get on the School board and to get on |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:38 PM | he uses Malloy's problem |
| asharp | 3/4 4:38 PM | so what does he do with Malloy's story? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:39 PM | He tries to make it sound like it is Narwin's fault |
| asharp | 3/4 4:39 PM | what is his motive? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:40 PM | to get on the 'Board |
| asharp | 3/4 4:40 PM | you are right about that, he takes Malloy's side |
| asharp | 3/4 4:40 PM | right |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:40 PM | Is this ethical? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:40 PM | Yes I think so |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:40 PM | I agree |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:40 PM | We do live in a society of free enterprise |
| asharp | 3/4 4:41 PM | hmm... he blows it out of proportion.. so I think while it might be ethical, it certainly didn't help anyone but himself |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:41 PM | He tries to make this a prepostourus event and since he's against it, |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:41 PM | he's blowing it up; |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:42 PM | to make people think he's right |
| asharp | 3/4 4:42 PM | yep, and to get votes |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:42 PM | Right |
| asharp | 3/4 4:42 PM | so is his version the "truth?" |
| angier | 3/4 4:42 PM | i don't think so. what about you guys? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:42 PM | Not to the extent that he say |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:42 PM | s |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:42 PM | Looking back.... |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:42 PM | Malloy was I think treated unfairly |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:43 PM | what do you think could have been done to help this from blowing up into a national media story. |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:43 PM | but you shouldn't attack Narwin because of it |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:43 PM | and the rules DO say that there should be Silence |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:44 PM | I mean Philip could just take the suspension |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:44 PM | Is this realisitc? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:44 PM | I think so |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:44 PM | but |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:45 PM | that wouldn't display freedom of speech |
| angier | 3/4 4:45 PM | i probably would have taken the suspense to avoid conflict |
| angier | 3/4 4:45 PM | suspension |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:45 PM | what do you mean by "display freedom of speech" |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:45 PM | it's a difference between local and National laws |
| asharp | 3/4 4:45 PM | but was that Malloy's motive? to prove freedom of speech? |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:45 PM | Never mind |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:45 PM | I got you |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:46 PM | and by Judicial Review |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:46 PM | the Constitution rules |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:46 PM | therefore |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:46 PM | Philip is innocent |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:46 PM | Yes, it the long run.... |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:46 PM | However |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:46 PM | Narwin loses her job |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:46 PM | So, |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:46 PM | is he innocent? |
| angier | 3/4 4:46 PM | and mallory has to switch schools |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:47 PM | Let's switch gears |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:47 PM | Jamison, |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:47 PM | you said the ending was predictable |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:47 PM | well I don't know |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:47 PM | he's not |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:47 PM | What was predictable about it? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:48 PM | breaking laws because he's getting a teacher fired |
| angier | 3/4 4:48 PM | good question. i didn't think it was going to end the way it did |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:48 PM | I think so |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:48 PM | becasue |
| asharp | 3/4 4:48 PM | I agree Jamison, the ending was a little bit predictable... it seemed like a "snowball effect" to me... once everything starting getting blown out of proportion, you knew that Narwin was going to get fired... is that what you thought? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:49 PM | he was getting sick of being called a "freedom fighter" |
| asharp | 3/4 4:49 PM | yea, it was making him unpopular\ |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:49 PM | yes |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:49 PM | He just wanted to express himself in his own way |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:49 PM | I agree with that Alison |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:50 PM | The 'Board thought that |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:50 PM | since she wanted to take a "New age" english class |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:51 PM | Do you blame the media? |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:51 PM | Or |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:51 PM | Do you think they were just doing their job? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:51 PM | the 'board thought that she was braking her connection with her students |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:51 PM | I think because Malloy's neighbor |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:52 PM | told the reporter to write the article this way |
| asharp | 3/4 4:52 PM | it does make you wonder about the stories you hear in the news... and what the "real" story is behind it |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:52 PM | so the Media was just reading her report |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:52 PM | that's all |
| asharp | 3/4 4:52 PM | that sells more papers than "boy suspended for disobedience" doesn't it? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:53 PM | that's where the slants start |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:53 PM | Do you know what |
| angier | 3/4 4:53 PM | like the radio annoucer that only had the short article to go by |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:53 PM | "spinning the media" means? |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:53 PM | right |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:53 PM | I have an idea |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:53 PM | like it's how you interpret that |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:54 PM | news story\ |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:54 PM | The media forums were using the story, and spinning the story in the direction they wanted the public to hear it. They were taking the news story and interpretting the story in their own words. |
| jamisonS | 3/4 4:54 PM | well that was all the radio was given |
| angier | 3/4 4:54 PM | sorry to interrupt guys but it's break time |
| jonathand | 3/4 4:54 PM | YEAH!!!!!!!!!! |
