What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

People don't seem to understand the value of vocational education. The college track is NOT for everyone, and shouldn't be. There seems to be a recent overemphasis in middle class America on moving all high school graduates on to college, and an excessive effort to prevent these individuals from "wasting" their lives in 2-year programs or endeavors. In doing this, you are preventing those who would prefer a vocational class carreer (one where most of the education comes from on-the-job experience) from getting this experience, and creating excessive financial burdens. I am in college, but I know many happy peers who have forgone it and have successful businesses doing landscaping, automotive work, design, etc. Whatever you call it, a large segment of our populations neither needs nor wants a 4-year college program.
