Practical Philosophy, Monday
There weren't just sandwiches out on the lawn today - there were sausage rolls too, and doughnuts, and bagels, and cake; Ender had put out a picnic blanket for the occasion, as well as a large standing umbrella that could be moved in if the rain kicked in.
And then there was the red kitten constantly trying to leap out of Ender's lap.
"I'm not particularly interested in having finals," Ender said. "They've always seemed fairly arbitrary to me. Instead, I'd like to keep fostering debate. But I'll throw the initiative to all of you this time. No topics, no pithy wise phrases to kick this off. Come up with an issue you feel is worthy of this class and throw it into the group. You're peers, whether you're aware of it or not: you can learn from each other as well as you can from me."

Re: Group Discussion - Talk
She still wasn't sure about him as a person, but no one who liked teaching other people could be all bad. And she'd learned a few things, more than she even knew right now.
Re: Group Discussion - Talk
It wasn't entirely genuine, but it rarely was and it didn't really show.
