Deathany, Icicle, Ash, Cari, and Flora had finally made it back to Myth-a-Logical Academy. Deathany hung back, not wanting all the pressure on her first. The headmistress was standing right in front of the school doors, waiting for all five of the fairies to meet her there.
"May I recognize Icicle, Cari, and Flora for returning our magic to us?" the headmistress announced, nodding to Deathany telling her that she was dismissed. The crowd erupted into cheers.
"But I will not expel Deathany for the fact that she has had a terrible history, but the rest of you shall be punished for discrimination," the headmistress said sternly, "you are dismissed." Everyone then left, and peace had returned to Myth-a-Logical Academy, and everything was peaceful from there on out.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
