Grappling.
Sizer, Theodore R.; Sizer, Nancy Faust
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n3 p184-90 Nov 1999
"Moral" or "character" education is neither a discrete, afterthought curriculum nor an unreflective community-service activity. Grappling with thorny dilemmas and the meanings of civil behavior is not beyond adolescents. Few issues can be persuasively reduced to sharply painted absolutes. Small-group discussion of these issues engages students. (MLH)
