 Why
Johnny Can’t Tell Right From Wrong
William Kilpatrick • Simon &
Schuster • Paperback • 366 pp.
School programs which were
intended to deal with many social problems (i.e. teenage pregnancy, drug
abuse, violence) have largely failed. According to Professor Kilpatrick, one
of the principle reasons for this failure is that our schools have abandoned
the moral teaching they used to provide. In this eloquent analysis,
Kilpatrick encourages educators to return to a proven model of character
education, with its emphasis on good examples and good habits of behavior.
He explains why this approach works, and he gives examples of school systems
that have switched to character education with impressive results.
