Whittemore said he thought a Web log will improve communication between ASG and the student body. Since appearing online, the ASG blog has received hundreds of hits its first three days — with discussion ranging from an open invitation for a poker tournament to concerns about diversity in the student body. Students are invited to add questions, comments and criticism to ASG-related matters discussed on the site.
(Wistful sigh.) I just love this concept, but I know it would be a really tough sell here. Unless there was a way to screen the comments…which of course cheapens the whole process. Still, I wonder if a high school community would be served well by opening itself up in this way to the comments and concerns of its publics. To me, the long run answer is yes, yes, yes. The short term fears will probably prevent it from happening.
