Yes... basic values used to be taught at home by parents and family.
Since they are not (in general), it sure seems they should be taught in
school.
It always puzzled me that there is emphasis on learning that the "Battle
of Hastings was fought in 1066" and how to solve quadratic equations
(When will you EVER use this information in real life?) and nothing
taught about REAL life skills kids lack and really need.
