KI lessons have been less than ideal. I hope that time would be delegated to discussion students indviduals before the issues are discussed as a class.
I could still remember a funny thing that happened during one KI class. The class was discussing whether you can know something but not believe it. Alwyn, Zilin and I (ZAI) agreed that it is not possible while the class was discussing, and we thought that the whole class thought so too. Then Wangrui overheard our discussion and tried to convince us otherwise. In the end, the whole class awaited while we were trying to persuade wangrui to take our stand. After we managed to convince her,
KI teacher:"ok, class, so we have resolved the part on knowledge and belief"
ZAI: *nods*
KI teacher:"that you can know something but not believe it"
ZAI: "WHAT??!!"
wangrui: "see i told you that's what the class thinks."
Then ZAI spent the rest of the lesson trying to convince the class that it is not possible. Then we finally agreed, albeit reluctantly, that it depends on what you mean by "believe". ahh well... its not all black and white I guess. Especially since we are using an imperfect language.
