Many thanks to our readers for your patience during the transition to a new and improved format for Ethics Newsline®. We hope the updated site will provide better access and usability — and we’ll continue to tweak the presentation to that end. Along the way, we’ll highlight features that may get overlooked or feel lost — like the one-page, scrollable version preferred by some readers. It’s still here and waiting for you each week. Just use the easy drop-down list under “Weekly Archives” in the site’s rightmost column. Select the issue you’d like, and the one-page version will load. (The one-page version also can be found at the top of each week’s email update via the “Highlights and Quick Links to the Current Issue” link.) Enjoy — and again, thanks!
Please note that the next issue of Ethics Newsline® will be published on Tuesday, September 4, in observance of the Labor Day holiday in the United States.
In a column several weeks ago (”Two Strikes and You’re Out: Good Policy or Bad Metaphor?“), I wrote about a teacher chaperoning a prom, finding a student who had been drinking, and getting caught in a dilemma about punishing him under the school’s two-strikes policy. At the end, I asked for your thoughts.
In the past, we’ve digested your responses to our columns into single short accounts. But since the responses from readers were particularly rich this time, we thought you’d enjoy seeing them in their entirety. This is a trial, so don’t expect any polished graphics — yet.
Why “yet”? Because we’re also hoping for your feedback on another question: Would you like to see a regular forum feature in Ethics Newsline® for interactive commentary? If we had a weekly bulletin board where readers could post comments about our stories, and read and reply to others’ postings, would you find that attractive? Do you think you’d use it? Do you think it would help promote a better public conversation on ethical issues?
Click here to read these letters and to give us your feedback on a forum. You can even give us feedback on the letters themselves, though without a forum we can’t promise to share them with others — yet.
