I've always behaved myself "just 'cuz" --- i.e., merely due to the fact that my conscience says that I should --- and so I don't see why I should hafta study philawsophy in middle school! It seems wholly unnecessary when I was already planning to "be good" in any case, plus it makes me feel like it's insultingly implying that I am a simple-minded impressionable who needs to be TAUGHT how to be honest and honorable, rather than my already knowing right from wrong to being with.
