A Timely Book,

This review is from: The Case for Character Education : The Role of the School in Teaching Values and Virtue (Paperback)
Character education went out of fashion in U.S. schools in the 1960s & 1970s. Many teachers didn't believe that the schools should be doing it. This book tells why, now more than ever, the schools should be teaching the principles of good character.
