Logical Fallacies in the Classroom

Using Logical Fallacies to Improve Learning, Teaching, and Behaviour.

A Guide for Teachers – over 200 pages

A practical handbook for teachers who want to sharpen thinking, guide behaviour, and deepen learning—one logical fallacy at a time.

Are you tired of circular arguments, student excuses that don’t hold up, or classroom debates that go nowhere?

“Everyone else is doing it!”  —– “You’re always picking on me”
