In essense... I'm currently wondering if there's something slightly risky about shoe-horning free thinking into young minds that aren't quite prepped for it yet. Leading young people to believe that they are free-thinking when they're actually mimicking (below about age 10 or 11 they CAN only be mimicking) and that somehow affecting their ability to develop true independent reasoning later in life, e.g. during higher education. After all - they think they've been doing it since they were kids, so what do they need to know about these advanced concepts? |
…children are learning…(…in all of their lessons…)…through philosophy, through developing their thinking skills and the complexities and layers of many topics and situations and to think beyond themselves to impacts on others around them…not to be more insular in thought or actions but to give more careful thought …and also think less restricting in terms of a right or a wrong, a black or a white…I don’t see that as any negative….
…..sorry I must go, I’m on the drag…but yeah…
