Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area

This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.

Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

Rules for General Chat

Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

How do you get people to answer questions from the Socratic method?

In my experience it either makes them mad, or gets them to shrug and say they don’t know or care to think about it.

You can't force them to answer. The best thing you can do is have a few non-confrontational questions you can ask them prepared beforehand. Give them an itch they have to scratch.

I equate it to planting seeds of doubt. Hopefully the question(s) you ask them will continue to swirl in their head long after you are gone.

When I taught college, I naturally used the Socratic method without knowing it was called that until a colleague told me what I was doing. I did this because I heard this intro from "The Paper Chase" TV series over and over again when I was teenager and wanted to emulate Professor Kingsfield to a certain degree.

In the original movie, the Socratic method is introduced to the students.

Ahhhh, I always assumed from Philo and such that the dialogue had to continue at the time…
