Hi,

I want to tell you about a moment in an Ethics class that stopped me in my tracks.

The topic: Animals and Ethics.
The question: What are some good things about animal testing?

One of my students looked up and said: "Nada. Nothing. It's really bad."

And then - without notes, without prompting - she made a full argument for why human
volunteers with proper consent should be used instead of animals.

She talked about organ donor cards. She talked about ladybugs not being able to give consent. She talked about animals living their whole lives in cages.

I didn't teach her those arguments. She built them herself.

That's what Ethics class is designed to do.

In our Ethics lessons, students reflect on complex topics and share their perspectives with others. There's rarely one right answer - the goal is to think independently, build
confidence in their own opinions, and stay open to changing them through discussion.

Because that is how we grow.

Watch the moment yourself:

See you next week,

P.S. This is the kind of classroom moment that reminds me why I do this work.
If it resonated with you - hit reply and tell me what you think.
