The Age, written in 2006 in which then Federal
Education Minister Julie Bishop stated that
schools have a duty to champion good manners,
tolerance, and respect.
Ms Bishop spoke of her days -
when the National Anthem was played at school
assemblies and values were taught in schools.
I thought this would be an interesting topic
for discussion and relevant to the way students
are educated today. I agree with Ms Bishop and
her criticism that students
were being taught all about their rights to the
detriment of their responsibilities.
Ms Bishop claimed that
teaching good manners would lead to calmer classrooms
and good relationships between teachers and students.
