The Missing Ingredient in Character Education.
Lasley, Thomas J., II
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n8 p654-55 Apr 1997
Educators are embracing character education as the latest panacea for schools'"crisis of values." Americans want schools to accomplish what is not occurring at home. Values are learned through observation and practice. The challenge is changing behaviors of those influencing children--work-centered parents, inconsistent teachers, and nihilistic media. Educators must have good character. (MLH)
