| Publication Title | Policy Update: Engaging Philosophy in the Quest for K-12 Deeper Learning |
| Description | Students gravitate toward philosophy. As a 10th grade philosophy teacher, I once had a student ask for detention so we could continue a discussion about Plato and Aristotle without tarnishing his reputation as a respected gang member. That request revealed the paradox of teaching philosophy in K-12 classrooms: Many fi nd it an unsuitably diffi cult subject to teach to children, and yet children are drawn to its ability to help them make sense of a complex world. |
