If you disagree don't start a chant. Just raise your hand. ❤ A lot of adults would do well to listen to that advice.

It's great to see this again! You might be interested in how this TV programme came about. One day a journalist from The Star Ledger (NJ newspaper) was having breakfast in a booth in a diner in NJ, when she overheard a family in the booth behind her. The parents were arguing and the child (who appears in this Eleventh Hour TV program) intervened and began to teach his parents to agree and disagree and give reasons to each other. He was teaching them the CoPI method of Philosophical Dialogue that I was using with First Grade children in Tuscan school* to stop them fighting with each other! That journalist was so amazed at what she heard that she interviewed the family and wrote an article about it for The Star Ledger. PBS read that article and contacted me to see if they could come and film the class I was teaching every day in Tuscan School. In return for them filming one of the classes, PBS gave me the complete transcript of the hour long session. It was heavily edited for the TV programme. And that is the transcript that I published in “Thinking” and other publications including my book “Transforming Thinking …” www.routledge.com/Transforming-Thinking-Philosophical-Inquiry-in-the-Primary-and-Secondary/McCall/p/book/9780415476683 And a second historical 'trivia' - I sent the original PBS video to a BBC producer and film maker when they were considering filming for their documentary series 'The Transformers", she absolutely loved it and asked if she could get film like it - they came and made "Socrates for Six year Olds"

Thanks for sharing!

What a good idea to do this!!!!!!!! As a school headmaster, in 1990 I bought the whole P4C program and used it with the students. They loved it. In 1995, I went to Mendham, such good memories!!!! Thank you, Mat, and thank you, Ann! We, teachers, children ... seekers of the world are extremely grateful.
