So many people and so many opinions. In many debates, it's not always a right or wrong. We've talked about culture this 2nd week of school and Culture affects your beliefs and even your opinion of right or wrong. Flocabulary left us today with a very debatable topic, Should our government step in and force the makers of Epipen to lower prices? Many students said yes because it's for saving lives not making money. But America is a Market economy and founded on Capitalism so some students said no our government is already controlling too much. I love how my students had their own beliefs and opinions but listened to others and realized they have a right to their opinion too! Think Win Win and Seek first to understand then be understood was used in my class today. It wasn't about 1 person being right but rather that we listen and seek to understand others even when we don't agree. So proud to be a Scorpion!
