6th Graders decide Global Warming isn't Caused by Humans

Its good to see a teacher interested in teaching children HOW to learn. In practicing debate, these kids are learning a lot (most schools won't allow debate, because it creates an "adversarial" environment in the classroom.) I like very much that the teacher stayed out of it and let the children come to their own conclusion based on the evidence presented. Now why can't higher education be more like this?

“They’re pretty young for this kind of thinking. They did great,” paleontology teacher Ken Poppe said after the 40-minute “trial” in his classroom.
