In this day and age, an increasing number of people are concerned about the purposes of education. Some people state that educators should take responsibility for educating students on how to distinguish good and bad values. Others believe that academics just need to provide their students with compulsory academic subjects. From my perspective, I think that the curriculum at school not only teaches bookish theory but also trains learners in standard moral judgments.
