Junior Secondary School Ethics

junior secondary school ethics: One province, Alberta, has taken up the challenge with an optional junior secondary school ethics course. , according to Times Colonist. Not much wrong with that and perhaps quite timely. Theres no denying that ethical behaviour, or the lack of it, has been front and centre in the news of late. Thats the same news our kids read, watch and talk about with each other every day. The stated objective of the course is to develop an understanding of community values, to foster student commitment to common ethical values such as respect, responsibility, fairness/justice, tolerance, honesty, kindness, forgiveness, commitment to democratic ideals, and to develop the ability to recognize consequences of making ethical decisions.
