Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how education systems can be structured to foster ethical development as well as intellectual growth. The author argues that the current system of education in the United States, though strong in intellectual development, pays little mind to moral instruction, and that this focus on intellectual development to the exclusion of moral development has led to a decline in ethical conduct in society. The author suggests that teachers should be paid higher salaries to attract and retain people with the necessary skills to teach ethics, that the curriculum should be modified to include more instruction on ethical issues, and that schools should have a greater role in teaching students about their civic responsibilities. The author concludes by arguing that investing in education systems that prioritize ethical development is essential for building a more just and equitable society.
