• Our youth today have luxury. They have bad
  manners, contempt for authority, disrespect for
  older people. Children nowadays are tyrants. They
  contradict their parents, gobble their food and
  tyrannise their teachers.
• Socrates

• Many teachers and academics find subscribing to
  any set of values deeply problematic in a
  pluralist society and so commit themselves to
  nothing in particular.
• Arthur
• Real conversation is that in which all parties
  speak, listen and respond to one another. For
  many young people, this is a rare experience.
• Noddings

• Character education is inherently a
  multidisciplinary endeavour, which requires its
  adherents to ask divergent questions and employ
  disparate methods in approaching the subject.
