Comments on "Big Ideas for Little Kids"
Kelly, James S.
Theory and Research in Education, v10 n1 p83-87 Mar 2012
Thomas Wartenberg offers his book as a guide that will provide elementary school teachers what they need to facilitate philosophical discussions with children. My concerns are centered on the nature and role of philosophical discussion, the level of philosophical acumen needed for facilitating such discussion, and the role of character development in this educational adventure.
