This afternoon we were talking about elements of persuasion and argument in Pubic Speaking. After about a ten minute discussion of logical fallacies and generalizations, one kid raised his hand and said:
"Well, actually, some of them are true. I mean, like, all Asians are smart."
After another five minutes of ridicule and yelling from the other members of the class, this kid backed down with, "Okay fine. Half then. Half of all Asians are smart."
There are days when it's clear that I'm not really making a difference.
