So Who Was Socrates, Anyway? Let's Ask Some Kids

NPR | By Elissa Nadworny

In part two of our look at the ancient Greek philosopher, we ask students at a California school about the Socratic teaching method and the questions it inspires.

Our yearlong project, 50 Great Teachers, launched this week with this story about how the ancient world's greatest teacher lives on in schools today.
