I don’t believe that homeschooling kids is the answer to the decline of morals, respect, and values in schools. However, this article DID catch my attention. Last night, at our SBDM council meeting, we came to a consensus to search for a program that teaches appropriate behavior such as “Champs”. Students are becoming more and more disrespectful and it is clear many have not been taught the proper way to behave in society. After reading this article, I began wondering how schools would change if we used the Bible as our program of choice for teaching morals, values, and respect. I feel like this is really the answer we are looking for……..we’ve taken God out of the schools and that is why students have no respect for themselves or each other. Of course, this will never happen because of government regulations……but it’s a thought. http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,645198753,00.html

“I began wondering how schools would change if we used the Bible as our program of choice for teaching morals, values, and respect.”
What about families that aren’t “Bible People” … Do you think it’s ok to force Buddhist kids to follow the moral teachings of the Christian Bible? How would you feel if the school district adopted the teachings of the Bhagvad Gita as the “program of choice for teaching morals, values, and respect?”
