When asked what we care about most one of us immediately said 'Scootering!' After that we thought we better do some more digging. And we are reading Holes which has A LOT OF DIGGING in it and has thrown up some really interesting questions for us.
What is justice? Is punishment a necessary part of justice? What is learned through punishment? What are the elements of justice?
Some people said that there is always a need to get revenge if there has been a crime. Others noted that they have not learned much from being punished, that maybe Stanley in the book would learn more form being educated.
We discussed the idea that a society should not be judged by the way it treats its outstanding citizens, but by the way it treats its criminals. (Dostoyevsky)
Food for thought.......
