Teaching Ethics in the High Schools: a Deweyan Challenge
نویسنده
چکیده
Everyone is ready to lead ethics classes and workshops—even undergraduates. One of mine recently asked me if I would agree to supervise an independent study in which she planned to design an ethics curriculum for middle-school and high-school students. “Maybe we could even take it down to elementary-school level,” she effused. This bright young woman earnestly believed that if people in low-income, high-crime areas would just take a couple of ethics courses, they would be less inclined to mug people and more inclined to act like the college students she knew. –G.
