I believe that contemporary schooling blunts young people's moral sense. From what I have experienced through high school, it was nothing but the teachers trying to cram all kinds of information into our heads without trying to teach us real life skills along with the information. My high school never had any real life skills classes to help us learn ethical approaches to life. They never attempted to teach us what was morally right and wrong. The only thing my high school taught me was all the information I supposedly needed to know to get my useless piece of paper they called a crowning achievement in life.

And the most noticeable thing about this is the fact the teachers just shove it off and let them get by with copied work.
