"Cardiac Illiterate"? Tara, if you "don't give a damn about teaching" why did you answer the question?

I see no point, and I see two points.

Teaching Morality and Character?

I for one am doing so--and I teach in a public junior high school in Hualien County (Taiwan)--not a religious or ethnic school.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but teachers don't 'teach' morals and character per say, as in a specific class for it.
But, back in the good ol days, they use to mandate for students to HAVE and USE good morals and character, and would punish them if they didn't.

This is not the schools job to teach this, but the parents. But, the school is suppose to uphold these things and make sure the students follow them. They don't do that anymore for these reasons =


1) They took God and prayer out of schools
2) It is illegal for schools to punish children now, and they wonder why the kids are so bad
3) Parents don't have the good morals and character themselves so they don't teach the kids. And don't care.
4) There are so many students in one classroom and so much bad behavior that teachers don't really have the 'time' anymore to even make sure the students ARE using good morals and character.
5)The teachers now are mandated to teach SO MANY things in a hurry that they don't have time to make sure students have good morals and character.
Give credit for this to NCLB.

'In the last days, right will be wrong and wrong will be right' -
Holy Bible

NO ONE can deny this is happening NOW.

Most teachers in education are not teaching above morals and and characters because teachers like parents would want each on one of his or her students to grow up to be successful just as every parents would want for his or her children because there is one secret about lasting success which is ;
1.good marals and good character and if you see this two twins and you see a successful person .

Hmm you asked a question that I can write an essay about, oh happy day!
----
Teachers have no moral while teaching because of many reasons. Then again, the word moral could have many definitions, so I will take the time to type up each and every single one out of the 11 of them.

1 - of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.

1a - Teachers have to follow strict guidelines about what they are teaching and when it has to be done. Not all teachers have the option to give out homework and not give out homework for instance.

2 - expressing or conveying truths or counsel as to right conduct, as a speaker or a literary work; moralizing: a moral novel.

2a - Teachers don't have the right to express them selfs 100% and they are often "pushed" into the teacher-attitude. Sometimes they get so into it they are a lost soul.

3 - founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations.

3a - Teachers have nothing to do with this.

4 - capable of conforming to the rules of right conduct: a moral being.

4a - Exactly, teachers have to follow the right conduct and sometimes a teachers conduct is not anything to what a kid wants it to be.

5 - conforming to the rules of right conduct (opposed to immoral): a moral man.

5a - See 4a

6 - virtuous in sexual matters; chaste.

6a - Unless you live on Long Island and are Mr. Laudicl (who had sex with the nurse [in the bathroom]) this has nothing to do with school.

7 - of, pertaining to, or acting on the mind, feelings, will, or character: moral support.

7a - Some teachers don't have anything inside except math problems and long words.. but thats what ti seems like, unless you live with a teacher, you know that.

8 - resting upon convincing grounds of probability; virtual: a moral certainty.

8a - We aren't virtually picking out teachers, now are we?

9 - the moral teaching or practical lesson contained in a fable, tale, experience, etc.

9a - Teachers shouldn't be doing this at all they should be more worried about the curriculum, not their experience.

10 - the embodiment or type of something.

10a - Teachers aren't a something, not virtually possible.

11 - morals, principles or habits with respect to right or wrong conduct.

11a - Teachers must show habits of the right conduct or else they will loose their job.

WHOO! Now I am all hyped up lol!

Teaching is the most noble and sacred profession. You can not steal your time and worst play around & give wrong information to your students...I am surrounded with teachers in the family...You know what, I guess teachers differ from one country to another, I can speak for Asian teachers, they are still the traditional teachers where most of them still use chalkboard and chalk,,while many also use more intersting teachng aids now, computers, OHPs, Laptops, PowerPoints and whiteboards with markers...but despite the advancement in teaching aids.. they don't forget to teach morals and virtues, they always try to instill them in the students students before and even during teaching ..use illustrations or stories to link them to their lessons and serve as virtues to learn from...so it is wrong to say that teachers have stopped sharing in the classroom..i don't think so especially female teachers who are more conscious of the moral conduct of children becaause they too are mothers or will be mothers in the instance....and for as long as they are teachers, they will never cease teaching the correct way of lif,,that is to live with virtues...................got it?

I try to teach ethics. But in a junior college it's probably too late to accomplish much. My biggest effort is to get students to think and do some research getting reliable sources.

I also think home schooled children are not being taught ethics by their parents. Sorry to say neither do churches. It woul help if we had leader for children to look up to. Parents might not know but if you're driving 75 on a 65MPH freeway, your children notice. When they see you do things wrong they will then believe it is right to do wrong.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your incoherent question were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational inquiry. Everyone in Yahoo! Answers is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

This should be the parents responsibility. Not all cultures believe in the same morals and what is important about character.
