Student-centered

David Silver writes an editorial about communicating with students via Facebook.

College students, they say, are cynical and sarcastic, ironic and insincere. College students, they say, devote more time thinking about American Idol than American Empire. College students, they say, don't care, don't want to care, don't know how to care.

Maybe we're just not taking the time to listen.

Nice one David for questioning the status quo, for shedding light on how bright and engaged many UW students are, and for being a swell guy.

The UW is losing a great teacher when David leaves to take a job at USF. But our loss is their gain.
