logic 101

If you read the following two paragraphs...

"As teachers, administrators, coaches, and religious educators know all too well, there is no easy answer to this question. Events for parents are not generally well attended, and those parents who come are the ones who are already actively engaged in school and other activities. This is true for both churches and public and private schools and other organizations.

In addition to having tools for creating effective conversations with parents about what’s missing in their participation with their child, it is important to find a way to engage the parents from the beginning. One way to start the process is by inviting parents to come together to talk about issues and to brainstorm policies and solutions. This can lay the groundwork for any future conversations about these issues."

Would you say the two statements in bold....

1. Seem contradictory but are not.
2. Are a logical contradiction.
3. Show the weakness in the liberal "let's get together and talk about things" solution to all problems.
4. Need further clarification that, hopefully comes after this paragraph.
