Schools can't really take part in building your character -- sure they can teach you some basics, but learning things like endurance, self-discipline, individuality, respect, and honesty are personal traits. Schools teach information and thinking as opposed to personal traits, even though personality traits can help or hinder how you approach your education and life. Self-discipline and hard work are examples of this.
The other stuff comes from family and life experience, but not everyone is born into situations that teach them these things. One could easily argue that it's not the job of the government to influence things like personal traits -- that would basically be brain-control. Yet these things benefit everyone. And we know that family is often useless in teaching these things. So what to do?

Actually, most of them do teach important life lessons. They teach you to wait your turn. They teach you to respect authority. They teach you that hard work usually pays off. They teach you that you get what you give. They teach you that sometimes life isn't fair. They teach you there are consequences for your actions.
You just don't see or appreciate these things right now because you're not old enough to really know how much you'll need them after college.

I beleive, it is because the public school system was brought on to feed industry. The system is refined into a commodity, and people are mass fed a sence of "general knowledge. There are more progressive schools though, and are evolveing.
But nothing is a substitute for experience, and if they tried to cram that in to school, i would hate that too.

I think that schools should focus more on etiquette and manners in class. So many kids are so rude and people have lost their values.

Well, maybe, but, since you weren't very specific, how would we know if you were right?
