Many of these subjects have no right or wrong answer; we will be introducing ideas and will be discussing them with the students, getting them to at least start thinking about them as a first step to coming to their own conclusions. 

We strongly encourage students to register for both classes, as they both teach vital skills. You can register for both on the same form, and there is a discount for doing so.
