I've been thinking about this a lot lately for a number of reasons. Partly because of my experiences with 17-year-old DSD who seems to have a tenuous grasp on right and wrong which also made me reminisce about my own childhood and the values that I have.

I would say that my parents, without necessarily articulating them have very decent values which were reinforced by my school and the community I grew up in.

What I particularly remember about my primary school is the teachings in assembly with the headmaster banging on almost relentlessly about things like two wrongs not making a right, treat other people as you would like to be treated yourself etc. etc. So essentially Christian values I suppose you would say.

This is waffling a bit but, not having grown up in Australia, I'm not sure how schools instill values these days. Presumably state schools don't read from the Bible because that would be deemed too religious?

I'm not particularly keen on sending either DD to a religious school as I'm agnostic. Not sure there is a God BUT I would very much like their schooling to reinforce what I plan to instill in them at home.

So getting back to the title of the thread, how does your child's school teach/instill values?
