Your statements goes against your own handle/sig brader ........ . Just kidding.
Indeed, it's hard to teach new tricks to an old dog.
However, I get what @choyb might be saying ...... IMO schools nowadays, moreso those that claim to be leaders of higher learning in our country, are negligent in teaching proper values and integrity to its students.
One example is the UAAP itself, with some schools using known CRONIES as their patron for their sports programs ...... we teach history to students, to show them the evils of our past - yet fully embrace those same evils in the present. Maling mali para sa akin.
I guess we differ only in the extent or degree of belief in our educational institutions' inculcation of moral values to students.
@choyb is much more idealistic, believing that schools can still change students' moral values even at the college level. This may still be true for some schools.
I, on the other hand, believe that even if schools make it part of their mission and vision to make moral beings out of their students, it would be too late at the college level if the student had not acquired proper values from his younger years.
And you, sir newwaveboy, believe that schools are negligent in teaching proper values and integrity to students.
Three different perspectives. All are equally true depending on the situation.
