Declining moral values

[dilloduck]

church schools can kick out anyone they want to kick out, NO NOT LIKE CHURCH SCHOOLS!

Like the schools we used to have back when we were the best in the world.

Smaller with better paid teachers and need for fewer administrators who suck all the money out of the system with their big salaries.

Do public schools teach morals ?

Too Big High Schools: Science Videos - Science News - ScienCentral



Most American teenagers attend high schools with more than a thousand students. Some high schools even have as many as several thousand kids enrolled. As this ScienCentral News video reports, a study says kids learn more in smaller schools. But how small is smaller?

High School Size Matters

Daniel Parker teaches history to high school juniors at his alma mater, Snohomish High School in Snohomish, a small town in rural Washington state. But the school he knew as a student is history.

"The school is a lot more crowded than when I went here," says Parker. Today, Snohomish High School has many more students—2,700 in all. As a result, Parker finds "a lot less of a personal feeling. I think a lot of kids get lost and fall through the cracks." Before each of his classes, Parker stands in the corridor outside his classroom door to greet passing students. But he doesn't recognize most of them: "I know maybe 150 kids in all. In a smaller school, you would know more kids and you would hold them more accountable. But we're strangers to one another and that has changed how things work here for sure."

University of Michigan education researcher Valerie Lee set out to find the answer. She divided a national sample of about 800 public and private high schools into categories by size, and measured the learning of close to 10,000 students during four years of high school. Lee reported in the journal Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis that regardless of the schools' resources or students' backgrounds, they learned the most at schools of 600 to 900 students. "The category '600 to 900' was where students learn the most," says Lee. "When schools got smaller than that, learning was less, and when schools got larger than that, learning was less and continued to be less as they got larger and larger."

Science of education has known this for years.

It not acted upon because people would rather have a tax cut then fix their schools.

Deny science some more , it really makes look stupid.

What if these smaller classes are taught by people with screwed up morals ?

instead of teaching morals and values we should be teaching responsibility and consequences.
