It's tough deciding isn't it Smiles? If the school is generally *bad*, then even if the teachers are amazing and they do have a strong ethos, then it's not going to make up for the students because after all, they are the ones she's going to be socialising and making friends with.

Marcellus, I think that schools should only support what is primarily taught in the home too, but there is a bigger and bigger push for schools to take a bigger role in that and it has me scratching my head that people think like that because what is the point of having a parent or being a parent if you expect schools to do your parenting for you? The ethics classes are a top idea though I think because of what they teach - things along the line of ethical dilemma's etc - and I think it would compliment nicely what most parents would teach at home, plus there is the chance for kids to role play situations and all that.

ETA - Snap Lulu! I see your point totally, but I think Marcellus was talking along the lines of schools being the ones to teach it fullstop?
