Bad take. Is not teachers' job to instill good morals in kids.

It also shouldn't be in them to put up with abuse in the workplace, regardless of who's the one delivering that abuse.

Is not teachers’ job to instill good morals in kids.

That would be on the parents

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but also on broader society. 100 years ago that would have been contained - people in you're neighbourhood would know you and help out. It's a lot harder in the internet age

@naught101 @lost_faith It predates the internet.

Back in 2000, a guy named Robert Putnam wrote a book based on his research into why there has been a breakdown in community in America: http://bowlingalone.com/

(If you ever hear someone use the phrase "social capital", they're alluding to his research.)

Oh yeah, for sure. Wasn't meaning to imply this is ONLY because of the internet. The car also has a lot to answer for, as well as presumably many other factors.

good morals in kids

I think you mean basic human decency

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 10 points 4 months ago

Yes. I would suggest having human decency is the bare minimum of good morals.

Yet it is. It's a broken system.
