That's the headline to this very interesting (and short) article. I had no idea that British schools were doing this. :ummm:
I've never really thought too much about this educational or social issue, other than to accept the traditional bias of the classical Greeks and assume that philosophy was only suitable for adults, not children.
Anyway, it is at the very least good to see some interesting new ideas being introducted into some modern education systems. :)
