For the past three years, I have been trying to teach the children in my philosophy classes why virtues and values are far more important than laws and government. Why social norms are the best indicators of a healthy society, not states that give away "free" stuff. Why all freedom comes with responsibility, and why all beauty has to be earned through hard work, otherwise we will not value it as such.
These children, the future generation, at a small school in the country, know more about reality than the adults I have to deal with here in my big city of Leipzig.
Every pupil greets me at school. Most of them behave in my class. Almost all of them except the punishment when they misbehave. And the best thing for me is that most of them love my lessons and can't wait to have the next philosophy or economics lesson with me.
The best compliment I can get as a teacher, and I am the only teacher in my school who gets this compliment, is this:
The bell rings for break, but the kids are still sitting and listening. They don't want to leave! They want to absorb knowledge!
With great power comes great responsibility, or something like that.
Kids are not stupid, our system makes them stupid.
They are curious and want to know about the real world.
We have to be the change we want to see!
That's why I go out there every day to fight the system and protect the kids before they can be corrupted.
Or shot, as Joakim Book (npub1y0g…jxa0) puts it: I'm a well-paid babysitter.
