    Abstract

    Because there are good arguments both for and against loving one's country, patriotism should be taught as a controversial issue in schools. But is this pedagogical approach practically viable in the British educational context? Here we report on a small-scale survey of teachers and students in secondary schools and show that their perspectives and practices are highly compatible with our recommended approach.
