Who would I need to speak to about using this forum as elective (or possibly even assigned) reading in a developmental reading class? Think of all that could be learned by all the innocents from character studies of some of the ...er..."characters" here. JUST KIDDING - but you know, this might be The Canterbury Tales of centuries in the future. This is better than "newspaper in the classroom."

Are you suggesting we are developmentally challenged?

:killinme

No, sir....Just thinking that this forum might be used as reading material for a developmental reading class - but then thought "better of it" ...

yup, just think, historians a thousand years hence will read these words and debate vehemently about the cause of THE SPLIT when AFF (pronounced aaaaaffffffe in the future) priests departed and formed Delastaffloss, or steladoplos (whatever. Who knows how that is even pronounced now).

All Hail aaaaaaaafffffe.....

I was semi-serious.....It's hard to find "classic" and "meaningful" reading material that holds the attention of young adults. Much of the time, they want to be on the computer - either interneting or gaming, so a forum like this might work. Think about it - a character study of Thad, DanielA or even better Evang.Benincasa. I'd love to hear a presentation of a critique of their posts and character development over the past few months. I'm trying to catch up on reading posts myself. I may recommend this forum to a friend who needs to get some students into reading....Nawww, I AM JUST KIDDING - but I had this wild thought: Would it work??

Oh, no, you didn't say this...

That isn't a research paper, that is a doctoral dissertation.

lol@Bro.A.

To clarify, it could apply to most anyof us, not just those listed.
