BLOG #13 - Do you think public schools should teach students ethics and personal values? Which values should schools teach in order to produce “good citizens”? What kinds of values (or even subjects) should not be taught in schools? Classify these values using some guiding principle or standard, and explain the characteristics of each category

     I do not believe schools should teach ethics or personal values. Values are meant to be a passage of a parent to a child. In todays world, many religions hold their own values or ethics and therefore if schools cross that line tehy could possibly cross religious boundaries and upset societal beliefs. If schools did teach values they should teach the values of raising a family in heathly ways and the impact parents can have on children. They should not ever cross teh line into religious values or values that pertain to innapropriate topics, like telling kids to not have premaritual sex. Values can be broken down into: Religion, family, school, sports and many other types. They are classified by the type of subjsect covered and how importantly society views certain values.
