Hello,
Let's learn more about the Asian culture!! Where are my Confucian conspirators?
If we apply the teaching in the classroom which of the four philosophies would make our classrooms work best? OK, I'm using the wrong forum. We need to wait until Kami creates a thread in the San Fernando Valley Forum!! Until then, let's keep studying our philosophy!!
