The Broken Window
Your son kicks a football through the neighbour’s window. No one sees it happen. Minutes later, another child is blamed because their ball is found in the garden. Replacing the glass will cost you £400.
Do you say your son did it?
Then ask
- Would you speak up if the other child faced no punishment?
- Should your son pay from his savings?
- What lesson do you teach by protecting him?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
