Hey xpc,

I am starting: this is the hottest topic I am working on atm and I will appreciate the responses

THBT politics should be discussed in schools

Definitely Children should be equipped at an early age for political thinking. If politics was a compulsory area of study in school, much more people would emerge as politically-aware citizens who will vote in a much more informed manner. It should be our responsibility to ensure that children don't become ignorant to political issues and disenfranchised as a result.

By teaching children how to properly react and respond to political discussions we are preparing people to interact with each other and their government. By making politics "off limits" we are teaching children that our opinions are best kept to ourselves and things will never change.

THBT politics should "not" be discussed in schools

Keep Politics Out of the Schools: I do not think politics should be talked about in the class, unless its about current events or history. It is not the place for it. When strong opinions start to be voiced people begin to be offended and it could lead to something that is not needed or wanted inside of a school.there are many students who have political backgrounds or relatives running the govt. talks like these held infront of these students..if offensive may lead to violence.

Such discussions create a "fanatical" environment gradually...milking violence, strikes and demonstrations.children are sent to schools to "study" academics...if politics are pushed into the course it may result in many evils

Considering it's a debate, i think it'd be better to attack one of the opinions above.

THBT should "not" be discussed in schools.

It is true that a young child has the mind capable of learning 6 languages at the same time. Hence, creating awareness of politics won't be an issue. However, the side effects of this cannot be ignored. We all know most of the countries run through dirty politics, be it dictatorship or democracy. If a new mind is opened to bribery or the threatening presence of a strong party, it would probably come as a horrible sort of surprise instead of information.

As for the "ignorant to the political issues" part, i think i haven't been provided with good enough info There is kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. Which one are we supposed to consider?

Introduction of politics in middle school can be supported as the students are mature enough but before that, it would be rather problematic. Furthermore, education itself gives you quite the picture to realize what is right and what isn't. It can help you understand the morality of a party member and judge his actions in a professional manner. In other words, politics can be understood without revealing it's face to young students.

By making politics "off-limits" we are simply helping out children get their priorities straight. School is to provide basic education that will help them get through life and become a successful human. And in the end, a country is made up of it's people.

U didnt attack ....u supported me
U actually broadened my line of argument

Accordingly as u said ....the side effect of "horrible surprise" is equivalent to "offensive attitude towards the concerned parties" as is the human nature

We are discussing schools of all areas of academic education


Political awareness should gradually be encouraged after middle school..yes....but you are wrong when you say education teaches us the realisation of the good and bad..the right and the wrong
The truth is...education "to some extent" teaches us such behavioural and mental approaches.
Politics is a circus in which the most attractive candidate wins...not the "most" good or right one ...I am sure you are aware of that

if a concerned citizen comes forward....his education definitely influences his decision but he will approach the party which shall befit him in the future ..where he can do "cherry-picking".

Understanding the true demonics of politics requires a mature and broad mind..which is definitely achievable not only through schools but through experience and a keen eye.

a country with 40% illiteracy rate is never successful in making right decisions via politics nor a country with 90% literacy rate ...politics is more than what education teaches us...it is a whole area of human wants and needs that have to be satisfied selfishly.
