Interesting to observe the interaction between classmates. By all accounts, our class is more social and more connected than the average class at our law school. I’m not sure why that is, perhaps it is due to the mix of personalities. For whatever reason, there is an expectation and attitude of tolerance and acceptance.
I’m told that in the next year, most classes end up being more contentious. The students with the lowest grades are looked down on and the students with the highest are perhaps admired but also resented. Hmmm….I think perhaps the addition of the January starts to our fall semester will result in a dilution of our tolerance and group identity. I hope not though, and I am looking for ways to mitigate that risk. Some sort of party? Some venue for interaction wherein we assert influence on their approach, rather than vice versa. Is that social engineering?
I enjoy the sense of community we have, and I’d like to see it perpetuated. I know we can have little groups, but I would like to see some larger joinder as well.
