In other words, I want them to articulate their point of view and come up with enough background to make sure they can "justify" they are right. It's interesting at first because teaching kids to disagree with each other (and me) respectfully is something that most teachers shun. I get the impression most people feel as though everyone should go along and reach "consensus" even if it means jeopardizing values. This isn't how the real world works and forcing kids to comply with each other rather than dig for deeper meaning and understanding is just wrong.<br /><br />I know all this just adds to the nebulous feeling of the word "attitude" that you are describing above, but I found this to be a good discussion topic and wanted to add in another perspective. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing this topic up for discussion!Aaron Eylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18292607465462672475noreply@blogger.com
