The Art of Deliberation.
Parker, Walter C.
Educational Leadership, v54 n5 p18-21 Feb 1997
Compared to home life, schools resemble crossroads, village squares, marketplaces, and cities. Increasing deliberative interactions among diverse students helps instill habits of behavior necessary for public life: the courtesies, manners, tolerance, respect, sense of justice, and knack for forging public policy with others. This article explains how educators can seize the teaching moment. (12 references) (MLH)
