LOVE the information on Confucius. I've been teaching it for a long time & getting a deeper understanding of it is right up my alley. I'll definitely be bringing this to my classes, especially the new 7th grade "honors" group. I'll ask them to read selections from the Analects and have them apply to their lives & why they are still important even though the ideas are over 2600 years old. Moreover, I'll ask them to observe the differences between Confucian ideals to those of America & see how we can better our own society if we slowly adapt the most important ideas such as rectifying the names, propriety, rites & music, and how we may become "superior people" (not just men).
