I'm not talking about teaching advanced philosophy, or even teaching philosophy at all. I'm talking about a class that allows students to engage in Socratic dialogue, to actively philosophize, which is not impossible. In fact, I attended a public high school in which my Psychology teacher (who also taught English) employed the Socratic dialogue approach when discussing class readings. A public school, and she is/was one of the most popular teachers amongst the student body. Junior and senior years are perfect for philosophy and many students, as I have, beg for it.
Hmm, I think I just arrived at my final paper topic for my Plato class. The education system!
