Character Education: The Ten Percent Solution.
Lockwood, Alan L.
Social Education, v55 n4 p246-48 Apr-May 1991
Criticizes character education programs that tend merely to present moral values to students, believing this produces socially responsible behavior. Argues listing values is simplistic and ineffective. Recognizes the situational complexity that confounds making moral choices. Suggests character education must contend with value conflicts and guide students toward reasoned positions on value issues. (CH)
