In the last two days I have taught the Chinese Schools of thought. Initially I thought students would love Daoism and hate Legalism, but I was very surprised to see the result s of the informal poll I took with the class when the lessons were over. First I began with Daoism. I took the students outside by the trees to be with nature. I told them they could learn the material however they wanted, but that they had to learn it. When we came back inside, I learned most of them did not learn as much as they should have. Then I taught them Confucianism by diving the students up into groups, giving each group a student leader that they would follow. Many students liked this, but many did not because they did not like the idea of respecting someone that was their age. Although the elders were kind to them. Finally I taught Legalism by being extremely strict, and was surprised how many of the students liked it. Most said they liked the strictness and that it made them work harder. But there were those who said they were too scared to learn.
