Edmonds on a chat forum

[K-Town]

When have I been part of an online chat?

 

Last I checked, I have little celebrity or noteriety.

 

It's a case of showing professionalism. Edmonds could have and should have ignored the questions. He chose to be a prick instead.

 

I have the same choice every day in my classroom. I can be a prick to some of these little pricks or I can handle myself in a more professional dmeanor. Most days I choose the later, but I have my moments.

 

There would be consequences for responding to those kids. There are no consequences on a message board. That's why you (and Edmonds) don't have a problem responding in an "unprofessional" manner. When Edmonds is at work (on the field), he doesn't respond, just like you don't when YOU are at work.

Surely there are better ways to discuss this chat than to determine the criteria for what does, and does not constitute "prick-like" behavior. If there is not a better way for you to discuss it, then please feel free to not post your thoughts in this thread any further.

 

I assume you're talking to Vance?

 

I'm talking to everyone. That includes Vance, yes.

 

I agree with you.............. wholeheartedly.

Umm...like I said before, the radio show and forum have that style...at times it's insult-type humor. You'd have to hear the show to understand...I don't care for it personally, but to each their own.

 

Edmonds is a guest on that show and in their forum...he doesn't "run the show" like you do in your classroom.

 

Did he give a "professional" answer to that question? No. But it's not a "professional" forum with a "professional" atmosphere, like you want your classroom to be.

I think we're spoiled by CFICT, indifferent, maneatingtarp, and wolf

 

Can we keep those and then take out the trash.
