That is the question, right? What about life? What about morals and decisions and how to be happy? You won’t find that on the state test.
Sigh.
I still work those things in to my curriculum, though — lessons around ethics, and decision-making, and more that I hope will resonate with them — maybe down the road.
A friend if mine is developing this website about philosophy, using film clips, and she is hoping I can pilot the “lying” section. We had a long conversation about it, and while this is an important topic, I kept thinking in my head — where does it fit? (I know now, and can make it work without the need to be an acrobat)
