Episode 108: Teach philosophy in K-12?? Yes, definitely! For example… (Wed., July 26, 2023)

Let's Fix Education / by Bruce Deitrick Price

The Greeks were so clever. Why not take advantage of this? There are hundreds of memorable quotes left by Greek philosophers, a job they may have invented. Use these quotes to draw children into geography, history, logic, etc..

The pattern in K-12 education, for more than 100 years, is to ask a question: is this material easy, is it simple? If not, let's not make our children uncomfortable. Let's not make them feel stressed or unqualified. And that's how K-12 became as dumb as a brick.
The ed professors are always looking for an excuse to get out of the education business. They should be looking for more interesting ways to stay in that business.
