    If you were running a Betterment School for Unpolished Children, what sort of activities and learning exercises would you want to try?

    Hmm… So many things that could be done. I guess part of it depends on what direction the children need polishing up. Some might need very different things than others. But I think I would want to start with some of the big concepts/principles and look for practical ways to work them into real life application. I would want to teach them how to understand other people and be able to at least temporarily see from another person’s perspective. Great literature could help with that, of course. Stories always help us see things as if we were someone else. But so could games where they have to “switch characters” and try living through a day as if they were a different person. Another project that could help with this is to have them do expressive projects (writing, drawing, sculpture, dance, whatever) and then have other students say what they noticed or felt from it. That would give them practice both at expressing themselves and at working to understand what other people are trying to express.

    This is a big job, this “polishing” of people. I must think further on this.
