STUDENTS in NSW will be offered ethics classes as an alternative to scripture classes by next year, under a proposal the government is expected to adopt.

Let's hope they carry through with it.

What happens when it's over-subscribed? Can you get on the list for the following semester?

I expect if there is a significant demand they'll extend availability, maybe by increasing the number of classes held at schools where the numbers are high enough. If you've got one or two children "over" they're likely to be put in to the class anyway. Anything around "15" and a second class is worth looking at.

Ah! Professor Robert's WWII class was one of the two at Purdue that filled up the day it was posted for subscription. (The other was "Human Sexuality". (Filthy, filthy boys. )) One year they tried putting the next 250 people that applied on the list for the next year (there were 500 seats in the class) and a near riot erupted when it was discovered that half that year's seats were already taken.

It's basically teaching kids how to assess different situations without religious woo in the background.


IE

"A man has a wife who is dying. The doctor invented a new medicine but the medicine costs $1000. Is it right for him to steal the medicine from the doctor?"


Though i haven't had a good look at the curric (been look at the English one for most of the past year), it tends to get a little more complicated for the later years.

Stealing is wrong and god wants her dead so let god be the judge.
