As calls gather momentum for schools to teach right and wrong, the author of this text asks what such calls may mean for the ordinary teacher. Reflecting on the need for the teaching of morality in schools, the book analyzes the values of teachers, and the values which teachers are supposed to foster in their pupils. It adopts a cross-curricular approach to values education, and also acknowledges that questions of values enter almost any educational decision or policy, whether explicitly or implicitly.
