We all agreed we might like to live in Sweden! The ice hotel alone would be worth the trip, and we all thought we would enjoy spending the night in a room made completely of ice and snow. Another hot topic was Sweden's spanking laws-there was a lot of commotion in our classroom when we found out that kids can't be spanked there, even by their parents. Using the icon of Ethics, we debated both sides of the issue: Some of us said spanking is bad for childrens' self-esteem, but others pointed out it can be an acceptable deterrent to kids who are doing something unsafe. Many good points were made. Next time we will choose to research the Swedish Dala Horse or teach our classmates Swedish words and phrases.
