| Fifty-three teachers enrolled in a graduate degree program were asked to respond to a survey ascertaining how topics such as character education and morals instruction, both linked to positive results in education, were being acknowledged in classrooms. Participants were asked to rate level of agreement or disagreement with questions about morals instruction and to list the most important morals they felt should be taught in the public schools. The consensus of respondents indicated that classes on morals should be mandatory in public schools with "honesty" being the moral listed most often. |
