In Chapter 2 of Spring, the author talks about the social goals of schooling. The chapter is divided into sections. Some of these sections include: The Problem of Determining Moral Values, Character Education, Do Public Schools Reduce Crime?, and Promoting National Health. In the section, The Problem of Determining Moral Values an issue that stood out to me was school prayer.

I agree with this because it builds personalities and values in students that will be successful in their life. I think it is important to start teaching children about character education at an early age. However, what shocked me was that some religious personals argued that character education is only important if they have religious framework. To me I would think it would be hard to teach character education only with religious reasoning. In the section, Do Public Schools Reduce Crime, the author talked about just that. What shocked me was that the numbers of day 5 years old to 17 years olds were attending school the number of crimes rose. I thought that the number of crimes would reduce. I was expecting, like Horace Mann, that public schools would guide children the other way from crimes. However, I do agree that the “the higher a person's educational attainment, the less likely he/she is to be in prison.” I believe that this is definitely a true statement and does make sense in the real

He points out that the society criticized both male and female students for lacking morals and not focusing on studies, but the society criticized female students more often because of the images presented thorough media. Ambaras introduces songs, magazine articles, and novels that depicted school girls during that time. He argues that authors of

Prothero states that “this book argues for both the constitutionality and the necessity of teaching about religion in public schools and

In this book, the authors define three types of incentives – economic, social, and moral – which are measured by people’s responses (Levitt and Dubner). From childhood, humans are constantly responding to incentives and learning from them. In Chapter 1, Levitt and Dubner explain some of those incentives by presenting a study based on 10 day-care centers in Israel. The study focused on the parents’ responses after

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Education is the bedrock of the development of any nation. This is the reason that a government invests heavily in the education of her citizens. Secondary education, a sub-set of the education level, is very necessary in human capital formation. It is the supply base from which tertiary institutions draw their major clientele (students) for admission into their different programmes. It, therefore, presupposes that the provision of qualitative education
chapter's main idea is that the study of economics is the study of incentives. We find a differentiation between economic incentives, social incentives and moral incentives. Incentives are described in a funny way as "means of urging people to do more of a good thing or less of a bad thing", and in this chapter we find some examples public school teachers in Chicago, sumo wrestling in Japan, take care center in Israel and Paul Feldman's bagel business of how incentives drive people and most of the

in sports can teach morals. According to Reuben B. Frost’s speech, “values can be developed through sport, but such development is not automatic.” (Frost, Development of Human Values through Sports) There are many debates on who actually teaches morals to players better. Many people believe that coaches actually teach morals more than others. (JOPERD journal, 2001) According to Marcel Pomohaci, Sopa I. Sabin, and the Journal of Physical Education, student athletes get more moral value from coaches
