Most Americans will tell you that character education in schools is a good idea. According to pollsters (做民意测验的人), 90% of us want schools to teach core moral values. But what should "character education" look like? And more important, does it work?

Private schools are also on the list. The Montro School in Natick, Mass. has daily homerooms that focus on character discussions and leadership, and the school provides many opportunities for rvice to others. At Montro, moral development is inparable from academic achievement.
Wake County Public Schools in North Carolina is a ca study in how to get comprehensive character education programs going in every school.

Public meetings were held, surveys nt out, and other efforts made to ensure that character education in the schools would be built on the shared moral values of the citizens in this large and diver district.

Passage Two
玫瑰花的故事
One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of "equal opportunity".
Many people like to think of our prent system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be misd out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.
Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less than they could. For instance, during the years of national military rvice it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds. Half of tho soldiers wh
o were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.
12节气It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1936. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the xes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.
