Where the Values Movement Goes Wrong.

Delattre, Edwin J.; Bennett, William J.

Change, v11 n1 p38-43 Feb 1979

The rationale for values education is reviewed and it is suggested that the language of values education does not belong in education. The authors state that teaching is an activity that takes aggressive and direct action on students' opinions and beliefs, not for the sake of their values, but for their characters. (LBH)
