Ethical Reasoning and the Art of Classroom Dialogue Ethical Reasoning and the Art of David H. Elkind and Freddy Sweet Ph.D. hen we were students, many of us had the following experience: our teacher would start to lead a classroom "discussion," but we had a sinking suspicion that it was just a sham. All she wanted from the class was for us to fill in the blanks of her pre-programmed curriculum. She would fish around from student to student until she got the answer she was looking for. So we kids had to make a choice between sincerely expressing our own thoughts on the subject, at considerable risk to our grade, or simply giving the teacher what she wanted to hear. The "smarter" kids chose to play it safe. Their reward was the teacher's effusive praise for supplying the "right" answer.
