Parents or Schools? That is the question... It's actually, throughout ages, the school that really makes the change in the way masses think and behave. And I was not talking about discipline, I was talking about Character education program, where students are taught about ethics and values, .. plus a school wide positive reinforcement policy. Otherwise, picture this: parents won't change a thing, so these children will keep acting this way, ... they'll grow up and become parents themselves... same thing...
Schools integrated character education have been implemented in most developped nations, and in many developping ones, under different names, ... but they work... not in all children, but in a significant number.
And I, as an educator, believe that if tranmitting knowledge is my only focus, then my job is not really meaningful... when I teach, I'm teaching them content, which is knolwedge, but also values, which is how to use the knowledge.
