This explores long-standing and new questions about how schools in a secular society should approach ethics, morality and religion. Haydon (philosophy of education, U. of London) takes a comprehensive approach with the understanding he is examining issues of values that anyone engaged in education is sure to encounter. He knows teachers come to the classroom complete with their own values and students will emerge with their own sometime later, informed by the values of their teachers, but that those students will also be informed by their own milieu and larger society. He takes an interdisciplinary approach as he describes the aims of education, moral values, conflict and plurality, and the three central values of compromise, tolerance and respect. He covers what is wrong and right about morality and its association with spirituality, the role of values in responsible citizenship, and how teachers as transmitters of values.
