Nothing wrong with introducing dilemma ethics provided that students first have a strong ethical foundation. Hard choices and tradeoffs are a part of life and shouldn’t be ignored, but most ethical choices are not dilemmas.
Yeah, I want public school “health” teachers instructing impressionable adolescents on ethics.
Baloney! There’s plenty of time for that sort of thing to be wrestled with as an adult. The word “ethics” doesn’t mean what it used to, anyway. Narcissistic, amoral, avaricious wolves, teaching in business schools, did away with true ethics decades ago. Trickle down effects followed.
absolutely,
5th grade is probably not enough of an ethical foundation there.
