I love this @brookssensei.bsky.social! It is a whole different way of looking at the world.. I’d love to see it included in the school curriculum as a stand specialist subject from k-10. It offers so much.. @jax1607.bsky.social is leading the way with this at North Harrisdale PS
I love the deep questions posed by @philosophyteach.bsky.social! It’s sparked an interest in philosophy for me.

"Any kind of teaching can be done ‘badly’. Explicit teaching can be dull and disengaging, just as inquiry-based teaching can be unfocused or pitched inappropriately. It is intellectually lazy to promote a ‘good’ version of one by attacking a ‘weak’ or caricatured version of the other." - Guy Claxton
