"We are fortunate that so many of our students form good character in school. Many, but not all. Millions of students are taught the wrong values, or no values at all. So, we have our work cut out for us. We live in a culture of callousness. The result: a staggering achievement gap, poor health status, overweight students, crime, violence, teenage pregnancy, tobacco use and alcohol use." Secretary Paige in his remarks at the Character Education Partnership's 10th National Forum, Oct. 16, 2003. |
