Today I started ethical dilemma theory with my kids (using <a href="http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-U4O2-Managing-Ethical-Dilemmas.ppt">http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-U4O2-Managing-Ethical-Dilemmas.ppt</a>) and it's not too easy!<br>
<br>The kids, as VCAA has kept saying in examiners' reports) too keen to turn the ethical problem into a legal one (which is easier for them to deal with) or to not see that each dilemma has its shades of grey and is not black and white.<br>
<br>I guess they could handle it better in a few years, but it's really hard for them to cope with at this stage in their development. I hope the 'ethical dilemma' exam question this year takes into account that much of our our cohort are not yet mature thinkers capable of handling subtle distinctions.<br clear="all">
