A re-learning experience


Young children are a tough audience and a tough interview.
I was reminded of the former while talking about my career to a dozen children, ages 4 to 8, at the MICAH home school co-op. I was reminded of the latter when I asked them how they like being in the co-op.
Ashtyn Morgan, 7, said he likes everything about it but especially science. “I want to be a scientist when I grow up,” he said.
MICAH, which stands for Mid-Illinois Cooperative Adventures in Homeschooling, offers field trips to its members and classes Thursday afternoons at Life Foursquare Church.
With that comes opportunities for socialization that home schooled children often lack.

“The Moral Life of Babies:” Evidence of Human Exceptionalism » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

The New York Times Magazine has a long and interesting article today about the moral life of babies. The story’s main thesis, after establishing evidence for a rudimentary infant morality–such as babies preferring “good guy” puppets, I can’t do the evidence justice in a blog entry–is to refute suggestions–which are treated respectfully–that human morality is evidence for a divinity, as opposed to purposeless evolution. But that matter is of no consequence to us here at SHS. “The Moral Life of Babies:” Evidence of Human Exceptionalism » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog

SOCIALIZATION, Russ Long's Lecture Notes

"The nature vs. nurture debate explores the relative importance of cultural (social environment) and biological (heredity) factors in the developmental process of human beings. Is our biology most important in determining who we are or is our social environment? Do we learn our character or is it determined at birth genetically? In all likelihood the answer to this question is a complex interaction between the two." SOCIALIZATION, Russ Long's Lecture Notes
