The first is the cattle prod.

Socrates.
The true father of education.

A teacher that was sentenced to death for
“corrupting the youth”.
A man that practically created pedagogy
and the probable inventor of

I present…
The Socratic Circle.
aka
The Socratic Seminar.
aka
Cultural Circles.

THE best tool to connect
kids, families, and community.
