Deja Vu. I wonder if this group will stick around.

It would be interesting - I think a lot of kids in school would benefit from engaging in some serious debate, reading the debates, the forum section - it would be good I think.

Let them begin an education is critical thinking - the only skill that makes education a life-long endeavor.

As I said, I think it would be really neat to have more classes have free reign here- it certainly helped me develop more skills in regards to thinking, reading studies, interpreting evidence, all that stuff.

I don't. Imagine if you are in that class and typing anonymously here, you'd have to admit who you are to the mods, get your main account temp-banned and potentially expose yourself severely, not just to the mods themselves but others.

What... that assumes that these people already have accounts? They could just use the accounts they have, or get a main one, I am legitmately confused about what the hell you're talking about

And reveal to their whole school their personal private opinions they may not want to expose?

Anyone who resents them IRL could dox them to an enemy or two on here and vice versa IRL.

um.... so they talk about stuff? Sure - then they could just keep their accounts anonymous, teachers do that all the time - its not that difficult - or-  they can just make a new, anonymous account outside of the classroom- it really just takes elementary planning - which further assumes that everyone WANTS that privacy

Wrong. You're assuming noone does and if many classes encouraged this it would force those that do, not to be able to.

I am not assuming everyone does, I do know some will.

they can just make a new, anonymous account outside of the classroom
That violates site policy and can get all their accounts banned. It at minimum forces them to dox themselves to the site mods (and admin since the owner owns all PM and IP data).

Once banned for multiaccounting, all would be able to read the association between the accounts in the moderation log thread.

Um... no - they can simply have that prior account deleted.. happens all the time - furthermore - Nope - teachers make students use cites (and make accounts anonymously) ALL THE TIME. And you wouldn't really know, seeing as you aren't actually iN school - even if it didn't happen, its a thing that SHOULD happen, and it would completely negate your argument that its "revealing their inner secrets"....um... so they can just.. not debate anything about that? Like - again - you're making it out and assuming the worst case scenario, when that is all it is - the worst case scenario. Your argument is absurd on its face.

What RM means to say is that if they registered their account on a school device, they share the same IP, if Ragnar were to look at the matching IP's then it would show up as all the students

Although not under the supervision of my superiors, I do debate on here as a student to practice my debate skills. I've even done a debate with a classmate.

I'm typically talking about whenever an entire class - or at least 7 to 8 people

I mean, I've attracted 2 new people to debate on here, but your right. It's not really a "class"

If these are the people voting in a few years, our country is in trouble.
