Comments on: Knowledge & Skills vs. Character & Ethics http://www.ed421.com/?p=241 Stephanie Sandifer Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:19:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Kelly Christopherson http://www.ed421.com/?p=241&cpage=1#comment-15442 Kelly Christopherson Fri, 06 Apr 2007 05:39:56 +0000 http://www.ed421.com/?p=241#comment-15442 Stephanie, I agree that what happened is wrong. However, I think that this is a much larger issue than what we see on the net. It is something that society needs to pay attention to and begin to acknowledge. We constantly see programs coming to the schools for bullying, we are seeing more and more of these programs being used in the corporate and business sector and yet we continue to have major problems because it is still acceptable in many places. Until the adults begin to seriously tackle the issue, it will remain because kids watch what we do and then follow. My guess is that this incident will generate more problems between youth than adults. Sigh! Keep up the great writing. Stephanie,

This organization helps educators do exactly that, through the CHARACTER COUNTS! character education framework, as well as numerous other free resources on their website: http://www.charactercounts.org/ I am also disturbed by the increase in online bullying that is occurring more and more, and the piece on Kathy Sierra illustrates a problem that has been affecting thousands of youth for too long now. Here's hoping that this sad state of affairs spurs more strategies for dealing with online bullying and other threats. I agree wholeheartedly that we need to educate hearts and minds.
