Paper Summary:

This paper points out the need for schools and teachers to educate children not just in academics, but in ethics and morals as well. The paper asserts that children, from a very young age, must be taught the value of traits such as honesty, fairness, truth, loyalty, duty and compassion and that once learned, they will then have the foundation for becoming successful, valuable members of the community.

From the Paper:

"By the time a child reaches school age, in this country, as young as four years old for pre-kindergarten classes, children should have a beginning understanding of basic morals. A child should know that it is wrong to strike another child, to lie, or to take something belonging to someone else. This knowledge can only be taught in the home at this age. Acts of altruism, or caring about the feelings of others, can be observed in very young children. A study by psychologists Carolyn Zahn-Waxler, Ph.D, Marian Radke-Waxler, Ph. D, and Robert King, Ph. D. observed that young children reacting to physical or emotional hurts of their parents showed a well developed sense of empathy."
