Yes! We need to have those open discussions, even if they are uncomfortable. #FledChat

#FLedChat which is known as cognitive diversity. How do you view this statement?

kmichellehowell - Moderator May 17 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3. As long as the blending still recognizes & respects differences, ok. But if one culture "takes over" then it is unbalanced. #FLedChat

braveneutrino May 17 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: I think I'm a millennial accidentally born in the wrong millennium #fledchat

That's true. But for some, it's just too scary. Like Ts trying new things in class rather than teaching the same for 20 yrs. #FLedChat

A7: As hard as a pill it is to swallow sometimes, discomfort is where growth can happen. #fledchat

#fledchat But we must step out to get the VICTORY. We are not as strong alone. We need others who have different views.
