Friday Ethics Class #2, 8-10am

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Tara looks excited, as students trickle in, bouncing slightly on the balls of her feet.

"Okay, we've got a lot to get through today. Two announcements to start:

First, Teacher's Assistants have been chosen. I have a carrot - Major K! - and a stick - Angelus. If you're having trouble grasping a concept, talk to Major K!. He'll guide you through the thinking. If you think you've got a hold on it, talk to Angelus. He'll challenge your thinking, give you the opportunity to clarify your position.

Second, and related to the latter - this class is not an easy A. At some point in this course you will find yourself challenged and confronted. For many of you, that will be today. If you walk out of this classroom before class is over, and without checking it with me, I may be understandably upset. However, I recognise that if you get angry or upset, you may need some time alone, or away from the group. To that end, I present to you the Emo Closet Time Out Room." She walks to the back of the classroom and opens the door to what previously was a supply cabinet. Inside is what looks very much like a white padded room. "This room is soundproofed. You can cry, scream and punch things all you want, and I will not penalise you for leaving the class or the discussion. Major K! or I will come to check on anyone who goes to the Emo Closet Time Out Room, in case you need help or support. Feel free to tell us to leave you alone.

Now, we've got our first debate to hear, a discussion topic to... um, discuss, and your first out of class assignment. Which you are going to kill, or at least seriously maim, me for giving you.

If you have any OOC concerns, or snark, please put it here.

_{Hee! Great assignment. But I do really worry that Parker's gonna kill Logan. Also, I need to check to see if Logan minds doing most of this late next week-- I was going to be gone from Sun-Tues.}

Parker was a *very* hard person to partner. She's so tense and in control that she needs to be a slave to learn something for the assignment - but she's so strong that finding someone she wouldn't railroad was a problem. Angelus-mun (or should I say 'Daddy'-mun) suggested that Logan can take care of himself.

OOC: ARG! Bel's supposed to be the Master! And I don't know how to fix it without deleting the comment! Arg! Make it better, quick!

About the debate. I have my first entry written up, but I'm just waiting for Rory to approve it before I'll post. In case you're wondering why I haven't started yet.

Class is slow played. You have plenty of time.

Am *so* glad that OOC responses are not as angry as IC responses!

Re: OOC discussion - question

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Mind if Angelus hijacks the "Instructions for Masters" post as a place where anybody with questions can talk to him privately after class?

Re: OOC discussion - question

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Please, do!

I'm here... or I will be here, after 11:30 PST... and poor Bridge doesn't have a partner!

Re: OOC discussion

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Whoops! He does, I just left it off the list. Bridge is slave to Quinn Morgandorffer's Master. Sorry!

Need a New Partner

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Cameron is going to refuse to participate, so Lisa will need to be assigned a new partner. Thanks :)

Re: Need a New Partner

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He so owes you a drink after this.

Re: Need a New Partner

[brambless.livejournal.com]

Lisa may need to wait until Monday (during which class I'm sure someone will object as people did today) to get a new partner. Sorry!
