Dear Educators,

Do you feel like your students often struggle with the difference between “right” and “wrong”?  In our October issue, we look at a handful of scenarios that test one’s ethics. The article features the opinions of both Randy Cohen, The Ethicist for The New York Times magazine, and middle school students from Georgia. What they have to say is both interesting and enlightening. Check it out!

October is also the perfect month to get spooky! I hope your students enjoy taking our phobia quiz, as well as learning a little bit more about why we’re all afraid of something.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Magid

Editor
