Socratic Reflection

The group had very insightful thoughts about a very tricky topic to discuss.  Although having great ideas, also came some rusting off some dust with the first Socratic Seminar of the year.  Too many pauses and awkward interactions amongst the small group.  Some key topics that came up included "Adult Figures vs. Kids" talking about unethical behavior amongst interactions of a student and teacher.  Should teachers be held accountable just likes students for unethical behavior?  Is it unethical and unmoral to play favorites?  Another key topic that was present was "Where Do Our Morals Come From?"  Some ideas that came up were parents, religion, consequences for actions, environment grown up in and more.  Also shout outs to MJ for taking control of the conversation and Megan for including other people in the conversation.

  1. Our class was just talking about the treatment of kids vs adults mainly from the police. Police seem to follow the stereotypes against teenagers, making teenagers more likely to be pulled over. It's funny how it all works.
