WRITINGS: Is there something missing in our schools?

Have you noticed that there has been an gradual deterioration of basic human decency? Basic decency has been traditionally instilled at a very young age by our parents. The world is changing, parents are not often unavailable. So what happens when parents cannot deliver? Children learn from television and the Internet or worse. We as a society must address the problem, so what's the solution? We have addressed the problem of hungry children with school meals... Lets take an extra step in the right direction. There are three basic needs that can be met in an scholastic environment, literacy, food and basic decency. If we take the extra effort to teach basic decency in our Elementary schools without interfering with ones religious views the now difficult task of teaching will be made easier. There will be less bulling and less violence... Overall the extra effort will pay for itself. It may have the power to change the direction of society as a whole. If your saying to yourself "this doesn't effect me" think again our children are going to be in your future like it or not. Let's start to think about it, let's open up a dialogue.
