Even though the most important questions in
life may be to some extent unanswerable,
these challenging and often frustrating
issues should occupy a prominent position
in the curriculum guides of schools that
claim to prepare students for life in this
new century.

For decades,schools have enjoyed writers and    
artists in residence. Why not, then, a
thinker in residence? asked Juliette
Hayes, Deputy Principal of the Waikato
Diocesan School in Hamilton, New Zealand.

What a remarkable way to spend a week.

Five days of meeting with staff and students in
what were often free ranging discussions of what
it means to be a thinker. For my part, I began
by stating my belief that every person in the
school could be a thinker if she or he chose to be one.
