Morals :: Religion, Ethics

Whos to BlameOne night, a few historic period ago, I was watching television with two of my younger brothers. As I flipped through the stations I could not help but notice that on every channel was an interview of our President, Bill Clinton. The discussion was about President Clintons involvement with another women. They questioned him if he had oral sex or commit adultery with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern. Neither of my brothers commented at the time on what they saw or heard but I just started to infer what could be running through their heads. Well if the President bottom of the inning, why cant I cheat and lie?This, just one of many, is an example of how a childs morals may be misguided. A young child may be looking at the wrong person or the great unwashed as role models. If the situation rose in which a kid has the chance to cheat on a test will he? Would that child realize what he is doing wrong when people like the president are committing acts that may give th at child the wrong impression on what is the properly thing to do? These are just some questions that may be brought up on the topic that schools are belief children bad morals.Many people say that schools are not to blame for children holding bad morals. some(a) may ask, Is it the schools responsibility to teach children good morals or is it the parents job? Some parents are too easy on their children. In todays world most parents defend their children rather than punish them. For example, a child is caught doing drugs or alcohol, and instead of the kid receiving a punishment from the police, his parents hire a lawyer and find loop holes in the system to get the kid out without a punishment. This proves to kids that although they did something wrong they can get out of it so its no big deal, bad morals. Another problem that rises is that in todays schools teachers can not use any type of a faith or religion as a guideline for morals. Todays laws prohibit teachers from teaching re ligion in public schools. Teachers are also told not to involve personal touchings in their teaching. It is very difficult for teachers to teach about morals without involving what they feel is the correct way to act. Some parents ask, who are they to say what is right way for my child?
