I have been back in the classroom as a teacher for half a year now, so I have had plenty opportunity to become reacquainted with young adults. I watch my students interact with peers, express their opinions, and discuss all sorts of life issues. It led to a moment of reflection as I wondered: what would I really like my students to learn?

I sat down to put this reflection into words, and considered the 5 main qualities I hope my students will practise.
