Simple Non Religious Question

[Sir_G]

This question is very simple, Very BAsic Question
Do you believe it is your job as a Parent or the Schools (Be It A Priavte or Public School) Job to teach your Children Morals?? The Right and Wrong Way To Live LIfe?? I am NOT TALKING ABOUT BIBLE STUDY IN THIS THREAD OR RELIGIOUS STUDY , THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN ANOTHER THREAD I am simply asking about teaching chidren morals,Is it your job as a parent and part of parenting or the schools job?? Caat be an simpler then that

Mate I believe it is not only the parents job but the school and immediate families job to do the teaching as well if to a lesser degree.

If the parents abdicate then ultimately you will have strangers teaching your kids about morality. And personally I think that's very sad.

Sad, but absolutely essential.

Some people are physically equipped to become parents, but they do not have any idea about parenting. Their kids have to be helped, or they'll end up the same as their parents and producing another generation of misfits.

Earlier I made a comment about parents teaching their kids to steal. Well, lo and behold: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325552,00.html

For the highlights:
"A grandmother, her daughter and some of her grandchildren tried to steal $900 worth of merchandise from a Target store in Lodi, 35 miles south of Sacramento. An 8-year-old and a 5-year-old were among the family members detained."

Now that's what I call teaching your kids morality!
