Should we ban families?
Why do some kids get all the luck? It doesn't seem fair that some kids are born into families with lots of love and support, while other kids don't get any, or don't have a family at all. The philosopher Plato had a pretty wild idea for how to fix this unfairness — get rid of families! He said if we did that, people would care more about all children, not just their own. What do you think? Would the world be a better and fairer place if we brought up children in a different way? Brains Trust: Eve, Olivia, Darby, Christian, Neve and Tessa from Leichardt Public School. Actors: Isaac, Harriet, Cody and Isabelle. And special thanks to Oren Thaler, for telling us about his time growing up in the Kibbutz.
