    yeah, idk i think that’s generally productive stuff, especially with younger children, but i think when it comes to philosophy specifically, you should really just wait until senior year or so, and then just dive deep, and don’t stop at any point. Once you’ve reached that age your brain has developed a relatively significant amount to the point where it can start to conceptualize these things properly.

    It’s probably even better in college, but even just doing a psych/phil 101 in senior year of highschool would i think be vastly productive to the average person as they get older.

      I wonder if theres still a trend of seniors and juniors taking focus on sociology/psychology classes. I think half my graduating year said they were going to college to become social workers or therapists.

      Only thing I’ll say is I don’t know any single policy would fit all students, although if you intend to go on to further studies in college I would agree some sort of philosophy should be mandatory.

      Its not that I don’t think it wouldnt benefit everyone to learn about philosophy, I just wouldnt force it on everyone across the board.
