Group A's discussion turned mainly on the problem of academic pressure in the high school. Group B covered the role of teachers and the problems they face, pressures on students leading to substance abuse, shared responsibilities of schools and parents. Group C discussed the meaning the life, then how to pull together schools with other parts of the community. Group D talked about the requirement of Civics, whether it was necessary or desirable. Group E discussion turned to diversity topics.
Notes taken during discussion are still available for further analysis.
Group C Education should focus on the whole child, even beyond school. There should be an overarching philosophy within the community. Schools have a responsibility to teach basic human skills. Group D Education should be relevant and useful. Love of learning is essential.
