I attended a parent / teacher meeting at my daughter' school tonight and I continue to be impressed with the focus and emphasis the school places on teaching the students to make solid moral decisions. While discussing the role of Humanities in their curriculum, the founder stated, "Our goal is not to teach your children the difference between right and wrong, our goal is to teach your children the difference between right and almost right."
That is a very powerful distinction. I know individuals who have lived their entire lives under the shadow of the cross and never learned that lesson. We live in a world filled with situational ethics and justifications for every form of immoral and ungodlly behavior. It is refreshing to find a school where the objective is to shape a child's thinking and not simply monitor their behavior. Thank you FCS.
