Blue Seminar 3/11 "honesty"

March 11, 2009
I have to say that even with all the distractions the majority of the students remained on task and topic. Interesting points were made such as: is truth an opinion or fact? When is lying okay? Who are we most willing to be honest with? I was especially pleased that the students who didn't say much yesterday participated today. I hope that as we do more of these all students will feel ready to participate and prove that this is a wonderful group of students!

I was very proud of the way the class handled these issues, never mocking or judging. Overall, the discussion was a success!

Two questions--
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
