dec 11, 1899 - Character Education in the 1900s

Description:

" In 1918, the Commission on Reorganization of Secondary Education recommended seven Cardinal Principles: health, worthy home membership, command of fundamental academic skills, vocation, citizenship, worthy use of leisure time, and ethical character" Moral education looses priority in the 1940s and throught the 1970s. Priority shifts to academics. Logical positivism distinguishes between facts and values. Values clarification led to moral relativism. Teachers once again become responsible for teaching students character education. (charactercounts.org).
