Hi,

Can you please check the grammatics of the following sentences?

Keep all students uninformed of opinions that don't match yours?

Or just keep your own kids in the dark about of others' positions?

In terms of formal structure, these are not questions. In informal English, the question marks are OK.

In formal English, again, you should make them one sentence and avoid starting the second sentence with 'or'.

You could say

eg Do you want to keep all students uninformed of opinions that don't match yours, or just keep your own kids in the dark about of others' positions.

In terms of meaning, I don't fully undertsand why the first part speaks of 'all students' and the second part speaks of 'your own kids'. If I knew who you were saying this to, I might understand better.

Best wishes, Clive
