Socratic Method

Today in class Mr. Schick used the Socratic Method in order to give us an idea on what it was. Back in the ancient Greek days, Socrates used this method in order to get someones beliefs on a topic. These usually related to what the pharoah would say at the agora. They would stand on a stage type thing and tell the people new rules. They were seen at the top of society. They could do no wrong. So in class Mr. Schick gave us an example of the socratic method. We discussed Colin Kaepernick. We said our opinions on it but Mr. Schick never told us what was right and what was wrong. He wanted to hear our beliefs on this subject. He never expressed his own opinion but he asked questions to help clarify our thoughts. This was a great way to show us an example of how Socrates handled these situations.
