My reaction to this article and your comment about this being the job of schools is to ask -- what about the parents? More and more I see requests for schoold to take on jobs that used to be reserved for parents. I agree that modeling good behavior to students should be required of everyone in a position to influence children -- including their parents. But asking schools to take on teaching morals and ethics, unless you are talking about a private school which accurately reflects the morals and ethics of the parents, is opening a pretty big can of worms.
