Welcome

This blog has been created to allow participants in the work/family conflict reading groups to discuss their thoughts about the books and/or the issue of negotiating the competing demands of work and family. Since you can read and post messages any time, you can participate at your leisure, making it easier for you to get the most out of our reading groups without necessarily adding to the tensions of managing work and family. I encourage you to use this venue for sharing your responses, relevant experiences and ideas for alternative ways of making work and family more compatible. The blog is meant to be a companion to our scheduled reading group meetings - an opportunity to get some feedback on ideas we have or express our opinion about something we are reading about in our book. Just as important, by participating on the blog, we can, at our convenience, begin the process of developing connections with each other.

N.Y. Times Article - Silence in Small Lib Arts College

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/15/opinion/15mon4.html?em&ex=1192766400&en=3ff656dadfddae7b&ei=5087%0A

This is a link to an article about silence in the classroom at a liberal arts college . . . and it sounds quite familiar. In my classes it's the men who are noisier, except for one that has 7 women and one man . . . (I think that class is small enough that we are dealing with personal dynamics instead of the usual classroom behavior. But let me think about that.)
