Wow!  That's definitely a question with an answer that depends on who you ask.  There are parents that are vehemently against schools trying to teach values, and others that send their children to schools like mine, schools that publicly support the teaching of morals as part of the mission.  It seems that schools and teachers are being held responsible for more and more of the parenting of children in areas where there parents are not able or willing to be supportive and the community is disadvantaged.  I really don't know how much more educators are going to be able to do without additional support.

I personally don't know how to separate action from result and thus far have not found an argument that would lead me to support the separation of academic performance and integrity.  I just don't think we should be giving A's to kids that cheat.  Should schools be doing this?  I think everyone should be doing this...

And that's what this post was all about...  trying to talk about ethics in education and what out society might be thinking!
