Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
epistemology for sure!.
logic
ethics!.

I excel well in all these three areas!. I would like the kids to win debates, to be able to do so, they must excel well in semantics,drawing conclusion from syllogisms; logic- i would like them to learn fallacies, draw conclusion from them!.

ethics- i would like them to learn the morality of any of their actuations etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have seen a class of 3rd and 4th graders taught philosophy, and they respond the best to ethics!. They also like metaphysics and aesthetics!. I think they understand epistemology and logic better than me, but society and politics are probably beyond them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ethics, logic & probably epistemology!. Those are some of the most important (and relevant) areas of philosophy right now!. The young are more attuned to these topics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
