  • I've seen more intelligent conversation here than I would from listening to most adults.

  • besides that, i believe the typical young student is bored and not challenged enough in DIFFERENT ways. thinking in the abstract like this is a break from the norm they're used to. they don't have to sit and listen to a teacher talk, or read from a book, or answer questions about those readings. now, if you were to tell the kids to analyze descartes or something, i'd have to agree with you! heh. but i think it should be taken for what it is: mental stimulation..thinking outside the box.

  • i disagree. these kids don't look stressed at all. to me, kids face stress in the form of homework, tests, & studying.

    childhood is about happiness. thinking critically/thinking in depth about things doesn't take away from that happiness.

    life can be equated to the structure of a building. childhood=foundation. a strong foundation can be achieved through mental stimulation & social interaction,which is what these kids are doing. "typical" childhood influences (mainly TV) don't provide the same.

  • na dude make em think outside the box and they seem like sensitized humans, instead of the old run of the mil " chocolate, candy, barney, mine!,mine!" bullshit, cause even as they do it, they know eventually there gonna get to a point where they fuckin stop, so why not stop now?

  • Outstanding video! Art is always a fun topic for discussion.

    @parispeter2: The same approach works with quite a wide range of children, even those with behavioral problems.

  • philosophy is abouti nteranl power

  • I'm for teaching kids philosophy, but I suspect a different approach would be needed with average kids. Are these all the children of college Professors?!
