King P read this article and would be interested in hearing what thought provoking students have to say about it. King P values an educated, inquisitive and thoughtful citizenry. Why not have an article a week for students to comment on for P pts? The Concerns Committee can take submittals for 10 P Pts each. The citizen who submits the article of the week will earn a bonus of 50 Karma Pts. The Concerns Committee will determine which submittal is the article of the week. All and any citizens who who do a quality comment of the article will earn up to 25 P pts. to be determined by at least 3 of the 5 Concerns Committee members. Each review by Concerns Committee member will earn 20 P Pts.  The Chair and Co-Chair are responsible to take down any inappropriate information on such threads.

The above is a link to an education documentary filmed at West High by P-Alumni and Hall of Famer Kevan Romero. In it, Romero interviews students, teachers, admin and others about problems facing the educational system at West. Check it out and post a reply. Organize a further discussion to possibly take place in P7 with humans interested in talking about such stuff.
