Challenging the Myth of Content vs. Character Education in the Age of Common Core

Challenging the Myth of Content vs. Character Education in the Age of Common Core | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
From www.brookings.edu - February 4, 2018 11:41 PM

In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, Anna North invited us to consider smarts vs. personality in school. However, no “versus” is required. 


This choice represents an interesting point of debate, because a false choice is sometimes posed between building academic knowledge in children and fostering the so-called soft skills that underpin lifelong behaviors. In reality, for the reasons described below, we do not have to choose between these concepts, we can move to utilize both together in a win-win situation.

A Promise Is a Promise

Promise to Tell the Whole Truth

A promise is a promise. Some folks apply a rating scale, believing that breaking a big promise is inexcusable, while a small one is acceptable. That’s simply false. While breaking a big promise, such as failing to repay borrowed money, can torpedo a relationship, reneging on promises, such as being on time, casts doubt on future behavior.

Remember, trust is built through a series of experiences shared with others. When behavior is consistent, faith in the relationship develops. When promises are broken or people are misled, the bonds of trust are breached.

Broken promises imply that the offenders either didn’t think before making the promises, or don’t care that they’ve let you down. They’re also implying that their needs are more important than yours. So, be careful about the promises that you make and with whom you make them.
